Package: ispell
Version: 3.1.20.0-4.1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
In NMU version 3.1.20.0-4.1 the behavior of munchlist heavily changed
because the applied patch did the following change to all "sort"
calls:
sort +a -b
was converted to
sort -ka',b'
where a'=a+1 and b'=b+1.
According to an old (woody) man page of sort(1) this is not fully
correct:
+POS1 [-POS2]
start a key at POS1, end it *before* POS2 (obsoles
cent) field numbers and character offsets are num
bered starting with zero (contrast with the -k
option)
-k POS1[,POS2]
start a key at POS1, end it *at* POS2 field numbers
and character offsets are numbered starting with
one (contrast with zero-based +POS form)
So the correct (which means identical to old behavior of munchlist)
new call should be
sort -ka',b
As a result of the behavior change of 3.1.20.0-4.1 the size of the
German ispell dictionary growed by nearly 200%:
Input: 77802 lines
3.1.20.0-4 Output: 81077 lines
3.1.20.0-4.1 Output: 201682 lines
So as you can see, something is wrong here.
The attached patch (against munchlist in 3.1.20.0-4.1) changes the
behavior of munchlist back to the one in 3.1.20.0-4 but still using
the new sort(1) syntax.
