Agreed, I also prefer #2. Also, the way to handle one more path in #1 sounds me a bit ugly. If it is the way, this is something I'd expect to be done more cleanly at upstream side, with something like an array of strings. > I'll test out the patch tomorrow. ¿Could you have a look at this change? Also note that, as commented above, current jessie status has a potential problem for aspell dictionaries that build directly from aspell dict sources. They will install data files under data-dir, that has been changed to be under /usr/share. When we change it back, above dicts built against jessie aspell will not work with fixed aspell. Last time I looked at this there was no aspell dict putting things in a separate data-dir, but since there is a 'reproducible build' campaign, some of these dicts might be rebuilt and place things where it will not be found once this bug is fixed. I'd like to mail all aspell dict maintainers with this info, asking them to wait until fixed aspell is uploaded. I have been rather busy lately, but hope to find time for this. Also, if your tests are OK, I'd consider uploading fixed aspell to sid before jessie is released. This way, newly built dicts will not be affected.
