Package: dictionaries-common
Version: 1.28.3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I was just doing my weekly Sid update and I found the follwing log lines:
Processing triggers for dictionaries-common (1.28.3) ...
ispell-autobuildhash: Processing 'american' dict.
ispell-autobuildhash: Processing 'british' dict.
ispell-autobuildhash: Processing 'espa~nol' dict.
Word '�bano' contains illegal characters
[...]
Many more words are reported like that (most probably, all words with
accentuated vowels). This looks like an encoding problem, mosto probably
latin-1 trying to be read as UTF-8. I'm not sure if this is a local
problem (many years ago I used to have my system in latin1 encoding, and
I think I never _reinstalled_ since), or even if it belongs to this
package or some other.
Let me know of any follow up questions you might have. Cheers,
-- Marcos.

(Not so) Random fortune:
The technology industry sees itself as in rebellion against corporate
America: not corrupt, not buttoned-up, not empty. In fact, a tech company
can be as corrupt, soulless, and empty as any corporation, but being
unprofessional helps us maintain the belief that we are somehow different
from Wall Street.
