Bingo!, thanks for the relevant info, this is the key, upgrading new dictionaries-common along with an ispell dict/wordlist is what triggers the problem. (Arghh!, I thought I tested nearly everything) 0.95.0 contains new code to support fixed or internationalized language names. The code snippet run by all ispell dicts/wordlists is, at the reconfiguration stage still the old one, while for dictionaries-common is the new one, embedded in its config script. dictionaries-common is configured first, and that works well, but when later the ispell dict/wordlist is configured uses a mix of old and new names. Once dictionaries-common is installed everything will get the new stuff, so reconfigure works. I am making sure debconf leaves everything as before once the relevant questions are asked. We need to recompute that anyway if the question is to be asked, since locale may have changed. If tests work as expected, expect a fixed package soon. -- Agustin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
