Package: dictd
Version: 1.9.10-3
Severity: important
Tags: sid
The dictd server doesn't start. Neither after installation, nor by
running invoke-rc.d /etc/init.d/dictd start, nor even when running
/usr/sbin/dictd directly. I couldn't find a way to get it started. It
also dies silently. There is nothing about it in the logfile and it
tells me nothing via stdout.
I tried dictd from stable and got no problems with it, back to the
unstable version it refuses to start again.

I think all the issues were already fixed, that's why I'm closing the
bug report.

dictd have been been handling utf-8 internally since version 1.10.2.

See above.

Can't reproduce this one.

The init script no longer passed -c option to start-stop-daemon.
