Package: aspell Version: 0.60.6-1 Severity: grave Tags: l10n Justification: renders package unusable
After upgrading from debian sarge, through etch, and finally to lenny, I noticed when trying to install AbiWord that aspell failed to create a hash file for locale "en". In fact the problem I get is exactly as described here: http://osdir.com/ml/linux.debian.devel.dictionary/2005-07/msg00010.html which as you can see is a 3.5-year-old message. Nonetheless, that's the behavior I see -- anytime anything triggers aspell-autobuildhash, I get an ncurses dialog saying: ----- Problems rebuilding an aspell hash file (en) ** Error: Could not build the hash file for en-common This error was caused by package providing 'en', although it can be made evident during other package postinst. Please complain to the maintainer of package providing 'en'. Until this problem is fixed you will not be able to use aspell with 'en'. ----- I've tried reinstalling all of the following: aspell aspell-en libaspell15 dictionaries-common and nothing has fixed it. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages aspell depends on: ii dictionaries-common 0.98.12 Common utilities for spelling dict ii libaspell15 0.60.6-1 GNU Aspell spell-checker runtime l ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.3.2-1.1 GCC support library ii libncursesw5 5.7+20081213-1 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libstdc++6 4.3.2-1.1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 Versions of packages aspell recommends: ii aspell-en [aspell-dictionary] 6.0-0-5.1 English dictionary for GNU Aspell Versions of packages aspell suggests: pn aspell-doc <none> (no description available) pn spellutils <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
