Hi, thanks for the info, Current aspell-pt in Debian is indeed built from ancient myspell.pt. I have been thinking about making ispell.pt the new aspell-pt source (I guess it is already this way, hunspell-pt is a completely different issue) and save one source package (This makes maintenance easier it they really come from the same source). I will check if things are that way before making a choice. Will let you know. Best regards, -- Agustin
