Hey Justin,
Can I expect to see this bug fixed for etch?
I agree that this should be fixed.
I'll look to see if it is possible to close the pager after the failed
request is received, but I suspect that dict will have to delay
opening the pager until it knows that the request has succeeded.

This may be due to the fact that the postinst and prerm scripts
define $PACKAGE differently.
That certainly is the problem.
Thank you,

Aleksey,
Note that if dictd databases was created by dictfmt with --utf8
option but without --allchars, 00-database-xxx entry will be present
in .index file as 00databasexxx, i.e. with no dashes.
Indeed, s/-//g allows it to work without the 00-database-allchars.
Is this a documented feature,
Aleksey,
AC Before looking for word in .index file dictd converts it to lower
AC case and removes non-alphanumeric characters from the word (if no
AC 00-database-allchars is found of cause). This is necessary to

I have been testing a dictd_1.10.2, and as Aleksey suggested, it
serves UTF8 dictionaries without needing a --locale=*.utf-8 line.
The unreadability of the 00-database-short entry when running uft8 is
still present, but I have made some progress with this. If a

What about upgrading the Debian package to dictd 1.10.1, as
suggested by Aleksey ?
Absolutely! I did not realize that 1.10 was out -- and it appears to
have been so since June. How embarrassing.
I will build a new package and let you know how it behaves.

Hi Thomas, Ludovic,
Ludovic:
Are you sure the sort order is problematic?
Thomas:
Quite strange, since revo works perfectly with dictd, word search
through indexes works.
It is only the 00-* headers missorted. This will have to be fixed,
but it is a minor thing. There is definitely a bug in
Hi Thomas,
Just a note to keep you up to date.
The work we did with indexing multiple alternative 00-database-short
entries is good, and something like it should be included in the revo
package, but the problem definitely lies elsewhere.

The START-INFO-DIR-ENTRY line of emacs-lisp-intro.info.gz lists the

Hi BTS, this is just a note to keep you up to date.
dictd should be able to handle multiple indices for a single database,
running as multiple dictionaries. A small change to dictdconfig alows
it to automatically write the additional database sections to db.list.
Regarding the 00-database-short
Hi Thomas,
Presumably you are adding these before the index is built.
No, I'm not, because the indexes are not built: they are included in
the upstream package. Is this a problem ? Should the
00-database-short-$LANGUAGE string be defined also in indexes ?
Yes, the server retrieves the
Hi,
I'll give a try to this patch this evening and let you know. Thanks !
Good. I tested dictdconfig, but did not build a database with
multiple 00-database-short-ext entries. From dictd's source, it
appears that name @* directives are implemented and should work, but

Does the pager successfully show the definition?
It didn't, but it's now OK after rebooting the machine.
So, does a bug still exist?

I've fixed the dict-revo Debian package, so that:

Hi Matt,
If the dict client accepted multiple -d flags, users could search a
short list of dictionaries on the specified server.
That does sound desirable.
A quick look at RFC 2229 suggests that the DICT protocol does not
permit multiple database names with a single DEFINE command, requiring
the time to look at all the
READMEs out there.
I enjoy having several of the other dictionary databases installed,
but don't think that I can Suggest more than the big 5 -- the current

Hi Ramses,
Thanks for the bug report.
I think the manpage is out-to-date about the --locale option.
I assume that you object to this sentence:

Hi Cyril,
Excellent. It looks obvious according to the documentation, I don't

Well, the man page is certainly not encouraging on the subject.
