It does use it, After forcing purge of ispell dicts, wordlists and dictionaries-common support, and reinstalling again with a large number of ispell dicts and wordlists from a single run, The following NEW packages will be installed: dictionaries-common dictionaries-common-dev iamerican ibrazilian ibritish ibulgarian icatalan idutch iesperanto ifaroese ifinnish ifrench-gut igalician-minimos iitalian ingerman inorwegian ipolish irussian ispanish ispell iswiss itagalog spell wamerican wamerican-large wbritish wfaroese wgalician-minimos wspanish I am prompted just once for ispell dicts and once for wordlists, as expected. Not at all new prompts for every new package. -- Agustin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
