No, myspell-ru only provides myspell dictionaries, installed per-policy at /usr/share/hunspell. There were previously symlinks from /usr/share/myspell/dicts, and this location was historically used for myspell dicts (and initially for hunspell dicts too) > Thus, hunspell-ru has conflict with myspell-ru (<= > 0.99g5-11). It has to conflict with myspell-ru and replace it, no version. Both cannot be installed at the same time. > I was going to ask to remove hunspell dictionaries from > myspell-ru package.

If using one of the dictionaries is a matter of taste, I would leave both in the archive, myspell-ru providing old myspell dictionary (also usable by hunspell) and hunspell-ru providing hunspell-only dictionary. By the way, please consider raising dictionaries-comon-dev build-depend in your hunspell-ru package to at least 1.10.5, where ancient openoffice.org snippets stopped being installed. Your package is OK, and is indeed built matching that condition but if rebuilt by someone else in e.g. squeeze, will re-introduce that snippets, and that will soon trigger an error for sid. Not having them is no problem for squeeze. Regards, -- Agustin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
