See http://bugs.debian.org/423012 http://bugs.debian.org/423124 http://bugs.debian.org/423163 Please check your dpkg version. If as seems is not the stable version, the above stands. If so, since there is nothing a package can do against future changes in other packages, or against an arbitrary mixing of old and new packages I will close this bug report which by the way belongs to 0.70.10 and not to 0.90.0. So, if you use stable dictionaries-common, please use stable dpkg. Anyway, please check your dpkg version and let me know. > Preparing to replace dictionaries-common 0.90.0 (using > .../dictionaries-common_0.70.10_all.deb) ... > No alternatives for ispell-dictionary.hash. > dpkg: error processing Lowering severity too, since this will only hit extremely side cases. -- Agustin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
