Hrm. I just
aptitude install dictd dict-wn dict-moby-thesaurus
pointed KDict at it, and away I went.
I installed dict, tried
dict -d moby-thesaurus quit
and that worked too.
I'm running Sid, and I last updated a couple days ago, FWIW.
Anyway, reading through this revealed what I think are the magic words you
need. Try running:
# Older dictionary database packages did not automatically invoke
# /usr/sbin/dictdconfig upon installation and removal, so you may
# need to do so manually (after which, you should restart dictd).
That's what did the trick for me last time, I think. IIRC it picks up any
new .dict.gz and .index files and adds them automagically to
the /var/lib/dictd/db.list file, which shouldn't be hand-edited.
If those words weren't magic enough, I'll post my complete config for this
thing.
