Package: hunspell Followup-For: Bug #485500 > Do you happen to have the DICTIONARY environment variable set?
Yepp. That's the problem. Some very old remains in my .bashrc Although it would be nice to get a bit more information when dictionary selection fails: [~] export DICTIONARY=test [~] hunspell -D Can't open affix or dictionary files. In this case I would expect a warning that dictionary from variable DICTIONARY is not available and continue with selection from LANG (or whatever has lower priority) Regards, Stefan -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.25-2-686 (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 hunspell depends on: ii hunspell-de-de [hunspell- 20071211-1 German dictionary for hunspell ii hunspell-en-us [hunspell- 20070829-2 English_american dictionary for hu ii libc6 2.7-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libgcc1 1:4.3.1-2 GCC support library ii libhunspell-1.2-0 1.2.6-1 spell checker and morphological an ii libncurses5 5.6+20080713-1 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libncursesw5 5.6+20080713-1 shared libraries for terminal hand ii libreadline5 5.2-3 GNU readline and history libraries ii libstdc++6 4.3.1-2 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 hunspell recommends no packages. hunspell suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
