Hi, Brian.
I have unarchived this bug report because I think I know what happened and
how to work around the problem.
I have straced the failing aspell call and I get, when checking a tex file,
...
open("/usr/lib/aspell/tex.amf", O_RDONLY) = 5
...
access("/usr/lib/aspell/tex-filter.info", F_OK) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
write(2, "Error: The filter \"tex\" does not"..., 40Error: The filter "tex"
does not exist.
with 'lib-dir=/usr/lib/aspell' and 'data-dir=/usr/share/aspell'.
Looking at the package, with that selections aspell installs ".amf" files
under "/usr/lib/aspell" (pkglibdir), but installs "*-filter.info" under
"/usr/share/aspell" (pkgdatadir), making aspell fail when looks for
"tex-filter.info" under "/usr/lib/aspell".
Attached patch seems to do the work, and I will include it once I finish the
multiarch stuff. It tries to make sure that all filter related stuff is
installed together.
Regards,
PS: I have updated the git repo with last NMU and enabled mail submissions
to interested people.
