tags 566556 + patch thanks Hello from Thailand Mini-DebCamp 2010 BSP.
If the intention of the package is to "Suggests: dictd", it should restart dictd only when dictd is present, and never fail otherwise. I've prepared a patch for this (attached). Is it OK for NMU? Regards, -- Theppitak Karoonboonyanan http://linux.thai.net/~thep/
