It looks like this is not the case: | $ sudo apt-get install skkdic | Reading package lists... Done | Building dependency tree...

Nothing to configure. | $ ls /usr/share/skk/SKK-JISYO | ls: /usr/share/skk/SKK-JISYO: No such file or directory As per my bug report, it seems that skkserv won't start, and it complains that the above file '/usr/share/skk/SKK-JISYO' is missing. Presumably the file should be included in the skkserv package, or in a package which skkserv depends on?

I don't understand. The skkserv packages has a field: Replaces: dbskkd-cdb, skksearch Are you saying that skkserv is also replaced by dbskkd-cdb and skksearch? How are users to know that it is obsolete? I don't know anything about these software packages, I was only trying to set up Emacs so that I can type in Japanese, which seemed to be much less difficult several years ago.
