I reported this in my mail to d-i18n [1].
Surprisingly I can only understand the above if a) localization-config is initially used for ispell dicts default value pre-seeding or dictionaries-common is installed first without any ispell dict. b) lang tasks are installed each after the previous one is fully installed There is still something that completely puzzles me. Does none of the above tasks install a wordlist? If so, problem should be exactly the same. More surprises, my reply was sent this morning, but has not yet reached the list archive. I suppose it is some bottleneck on the way, but just in case, I am bcc'ing you. Sorry for the duplicates. Will resend my reply if tomorrow is not there. > Note that this has nothing to do with localization-config as that is > currently _not used_ during installations. Sorry, I understood that localization-config was not being used for ispell dicts selection, not that it was not used at all. If is not used things are different, ... but I can understand your description better if it is used :-(. > [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-i18n/2006/09/msg00234.html I did not reply to you directly because I supposed you read debian-i18n, just to the list http://lists.debian.org/debian-i18n/2006/09/msg00238.html Does d-i still uses debian-installer/{language,country}? dictionaries-common code relies on them. Also, when is dictionaries-common installed in d-i? It should be pulled by ispell-dicts or wordlists, not installed first. -- Agustin [Not subscribed to debian-boot] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
