Howdy, The current WordNet package does not allow database errors to be fixed. Thus, I'm creating a new source package, wordnet-grind, which will allow this. There would then be two source packages for WordNet: wordnet-grind would be used to generate wordnet-base, and wordnet would be used to wordnet, wordnet-dev, and wordnet-doc.
The problem is that wordnet-dev provides a header file required to build wordnet-base, so wordnet-grind must build-depend upon it. wordnet-dev depends on wordnet, which depends on wordnet-base, and so it cannot be installed until wordnet-base is built. Here are the solutions I've considered: * merge them into one source package. This would diverge from upstreams distribution model. * copy the header file into wordnet-grind. This would have to be kept in sync manually. * build wordnet-dev and force its installation. This is a pain for other package builders. Any suggestions? Matt
