IIRC pdksh seemed to work in my sid box, while ksh not. However I am not now at that box. Trying again here in an etch box pdksh fails. I will try again in a sid box when possible.

The simple way to keep everybody joined is to abuse he BTS, reassigning bug report to e.g. 'mksh,pdksh,ksh', so it can be accessed from the three packages and everybody receives mails. I am bcc'ing those packages to keep them aware. I am in the process of subscribing to that bug report, but feel free to add dictionaries-common there. -- Agustin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
