--- Begin Message ---Package: libenchant1c2a Version: 1.4.2-3.3 Severity: normal Man page for enchant does not mention option -d (nor -h). $ enchant -h Usage: enchant [options] -a|-d dict|-l|-L|-m|-v[v]|<file> -a lists alternatives. -d dict uses dictionary <dict>. -l lists misspellings. -m is ignored. -L displays line numbers. -v displays program version. Furhermore enchant -d fi and -d fi_FI do not produce the same result. Looks like -d fi works as expected, -d fi_FI makes strange results. In the following test material first two lines are Finnish, rest is English and I expect enchant -l to report those english words. $ cat test-material-for-enchant-2.txt Hallinnolliset tiedot Tietoa tästä ohjeesta This manual was created for Sarge's debian-installer, based on the Woody installation manual for boot-floppies, which was based on earlier Debian installation manuals, and on the Progeny distribution manual which was released under GPL in 2003. $ enchant -l -d fi < test-material-for-enchant-2.txt This manual was created for Sarge's debian-installer based the Woody installation manual for boot-floppies which was based earlier Debian installation manuals and the Progeny distribution manual which was released under GPL in $ enchant -l -d fi_FI < test-material-for-enchant-2.txt With -d fi_FI I get an empty listing. $ enchant-lsmod -list-dicts fi (voikko) en (ispell) en_PH (ispell) en_US (ispell) fi_FI (myspell) tr (zemberek) According to enchant-lsmod, a different backend is used for fi_FI than for fi. This seems strange, and not what I expected to happen with this encant.ordering (which is the original, did not modify it): cat /usr/share/enchant/enchant.ordering *:myspell,aspell,ispell fi:voikko,ispell,myspell,aspell fi_FI:voikko,ispell,myspell,aspell he:hspell,myspell he_IL:hspell,myspell yi:uspell tr:zemberek tr_TR:zemberek At least the man pages needs more material. Maybe the program works as intended, but the docs should document the intentions. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=fi_FI.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libenchant1c2a depends on: ii libaspell15 0.60.6-1 GNU Aspell spell-checker runtime l ii libc6 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.1-5 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.76-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libgcc1 1:4.3.2-1.1 GCC support library ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.6-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libhunspell-1.2-0 1.2.6-1 spell checker and morphological an ii libstdc++6 4.3.2-1.1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libvoikko1 1.7-2 Finnish spell-checker and hyphenat ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime libenchant1c2a recommends no packages. libenchant1c2a suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
