The python-wordaxe package is now in Sid, but the python-hyphen package has not been sponsored yet; I have to fix some bugs in my packaging first. Only python-hyphen needs the .dic files. > For OOo 3.0 we can get rid of dictionary.lst anyway, so we can get > rid of the dictionaries-common dep.

Python-hyphen is basically a wrapper for libhyphen/libhnj so that Python programs can use that C library. Python-wordaxe is a library that provides a different hyphenation algorithm, designed to work with German. I don't care about these packages, except that the rst2pdf package needs both of them to produce hyphenated PDFs. Without hyphenation, the PDFs are hard to read. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
