Package: dictionaries-common
Version: 1.20.4
Severity: normal
Hi,
It seems I hit bug #692770 with a fresh install of testing made with
deboostrap. Nothing fancy, nothing done apart a simple deboostrap then
an install of kde-full.
The scenario is exactly the same
root@lutz:/etc/dictionaries-common# dpkg -S /usr/share/dict/words
diversion by dictionaries-common from: /usr/share/dict/words
diversion by dictionaries-common to:
/usr/share/dict/words.pre-dictionaries-common
dictionaries-common: /usr/share/dict/words
wamerican is not installed. aspell-fr is properly installed and able to
spell check said language with it is own dictionary.
I'm not even sure to get at which point the original words file is
supposed to be set. Reading
http://dict-common.alioth.debian.org/dsdt-policy.html it seems to be
that dictionaries-common is in charge. "It also provides support for
registering ispell/aspell/myspell/hunspell dictionaries for use under
emacs and squirrelmail. This is the basic package for the system to
work."
I did not change the affected install, please tell me what else could
prove useful to debug this.

Yes, that is the wordlist equivalent for http://bugs.debian.org/625278
[#625278: dictionaries-common: package contains two dangling symbolic
links in /usr/lib/ispell], but I have to admit that it is very low in
my priority list.

You are right here, suggests line is really ancient
Suggests: ispell, emacsen-common, jed-extra
reminiscence of the times where ispell was the only spellchecker.
I think I should change it to something like
Suggests: ispell | aspell | hunspell , wordlist, emacsen-common, jed-extra

Done. Thanks for the feedback.
