There is nothing in ispell-autobuildhash explicitly setting GZIP environment variable. Seems that your system still has an obsolete GZIP setting and that gzip error message is related to your local settings rather than to the Debian package. # echo $GZIP # apt install --reinstall iamerican ibritish ... Setting up iamerican (3.4.00-6) ... Setting up ibritish (3.4.00-6) .. No error messages. However, if I explicitly set GZIP message appears # export GZIP=-9 # apt install --reinstall iamerican ibritish ... ispell-autobuildhash: Processing 'american' dict. gzip: warning: GZIP environment variable is deprecated; use an alias or script ispell-autobuildhash: Processing 'british' dict. gzip: warning: GZIP environment variable is deprecated; use an alias or script I will close this bug reported unless convinced that there is something ispell-autobuildhash can do about this.
