Package: dictionaries-common Version: 1.28.3 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I was just doing my weekly Sid update and I found the follwing log lines: Processing triggers for dictionaries-common (1.28.3) ... ispell-autobuildhash: Processing 'american' dict. ispell-autobuildhash: Processing 'british' dict. ispell-autobuildhash: Processing 'espa~nol' dict. Word '�bano' contains illegal characters [...] Many more words are reported like that (most probably, all words with accentuated vowels). This looks like an encoding problem, mosto probably latin-1 trying to be read as UTF-8. I'm not sure if this is a local problem (many years ago I used to have my system in latin1 encoding, and I think I never _reinstalled_ since), or even if it belongs to this package or some other. Let me know of any follow up questions you might have. Cheers, -- Marcos. -- System Information: Debian Release: bullseye/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (700, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.9.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_CRAP, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US:es:fr:it Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages dictionaries-common depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.74 ii emacsen-common 3.0.4 ii libtext-iconv-perl 1.7-7+b1 dictionaries-common recommends no packages.
