Package: dict-freedict-spa-deu
Version: 2018.10.21-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
I consider the first line in /usr/share/dictd/freedict-spa-deu.index is
invalid since it has only 2 entries:
"       DTHY    h"

According to https://linux.die.net/man/8/dictd the index shall have
always 3 entries:
"... The flat text file contains dictionary entries (or any other
suitable data), and the index contains tab-delimited tuples consisting
of the headword, the byte offset at which this entry begins in the flat
text file, and the length of the entry in bytes..."

I noticed this problem using pyglossary, which reports a related syntax
failure and stops conversion.

I also noticed the related package freedict-spa-deu-0.1.dictd.tar.xz
(sha512 9e33dd3294c8a24...) on https://freedict.org has the same
problem. But I could not resolve the root cause in the sources.


Best Regards
Hannes
