Agustin,

You are correct that there are currently two copies in Debian, one that comes 
with the Qt 5 
packages and the other that comes with the Qt 6 packages.

Can one of the Debian Qt/KDE maintainers weigh in on the feasibility of either 
creating a 
meta package that depends on the most recent package that includes 
qwebengine_convert_dict or creating an unversioned package that installs 
qwebengine_convert_dict?  Also, either having qwebengine_convert_dict being 
installed in 
an unversioned location or having a symlink that is unversioned?  That would 
make it easier 
for Hunspell language packages to build-depend on qwebengine_convert_dict and 
wouldn’t 
require reworking all of those packages’ build scripts every time the version 
of Qt in Debian 
changes.

Regarding qwebengine_convert_dict expecting the .dic as a file entry, I am not 
certain I 
understand what you are referring to.  This is how it builds on my Debian 
testing system.  
The .dic file must be in the same directory as the .aff, but it isn’t specified 
(or at least doesn’t 
need to be specified) as a file entry.

$ /usr/lib/qt5/bin/qwebengine_convert_dict en_US.aff en_US.bdic
en_US.dic_delta not found.

Success. Dictionary converted.
