Yes, and I've not found it. That said, "an" is not one of the most important packages around. The program was long abandoned when I packaged it. > If not, why are you still claiming to be the "maintainer" of the package?

Are you saying in an extremely roundabout way that the /usr/share/dict/* files contain duplicates? If you have found the fault underlying the bug, then it's in everyone's best interest if you report it. Keeping it to yourself and making snide remarks isn't in the spirit of free software. Patches are always welcomed. Your "speedups" patch in bug #234744 was included in a recent NMU (which I didn't oppose). Because it didn't appear to fix any faults I hadn't uploaded it myself. A 20% speedup in a program that doesn't need much CPU power anyway was deemed to be "wishlist" priority, and would have been included in a future upload which actually fixed a fault. If you're happy to stow the blunderbus, I'll get your fix incorporated. -- Paul Martin <p...@debian.org> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
