Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: alpine
alpine's debian/rules configures it it
--with-spellcheck-program=aspell
which according to the changelog has been in Debian since 0.82+dfsg-4.
However, if you build it without aspell installed on your local system,
./configure reports:
checking for aspell... no
checking for ispell... no
checking for spell... no
checking for aspell... no
checking for ispell... no
and then builds the resulting binary without spell-checking support. You can
confirm this by installing alpine, starting the composer with "alpine
f...@example.com", scrolling to the message body, and pressing Ctrl-T.
If you install aspell on the build system before configuring, the build
process successfully finds aspell, and Ctrl-T works in the resulting
binary. I've only tested this on a build server in an Intrepid chroot,
building in a clean environment and then after manually installing
aspell, but I believe the same packaging bug applies to Hardy as well.
So, alpine's package needs to Build-Depend on aspell, so it's present
for ./configure, and to Depend on (or at least Recommend) aspell, so
it's available for use on the target system.
** Affects: alpine (Ubuntu)
