Hi,

While upgrading dictionaries-common from 1.28.7 to 1.28.10:

=====
Configurando dictionaries-common (1.28.10) ...
dmihd: No hunspell dir passed or available
dpkg: error processing package dictionaries-common (--configure):
installed dictionaries-common package post-installation script subprocess 
returned error exit status 2
(…)
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of aspell-pt-br:
aspell-pt-br depende de dictionaries-common (>= 1.23~); porém:
 Pacote dictionaries-common não está configurado ainda.

dpkg: error processing package aspell-pt-br (--configure):
problemas de dependência - deixando desconfigurado
(…)
Erros foram encontrados durante o processamento de:
dictionaries-common
aspell-pt-br
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
=====

Cheers Jochen

I ran into the same problem on a system with no hunspell dictionaries installed. The attached patch fixes the problem for me.
