Hi I've uploaded ispell 3.3.02 to unstable this evening. The version declares breaks against all arch:any ispell-dictionaries:
Breaks: iamerican (<= 3.1.20.0-9), // Done - build from ispell sources ibritish (<= 3.1.20.0-9), // Done - build from ispell sources ibulgarian (<= 3.0-12), iczech (<= 20040229-5), idanish (<= 1.6.25-1), iestonian (<= 1:20030606-12.1), ifinnish (<= 0.7-17.3), ifinnish-large (<= 0.7-17.3), ifrench (<= 1.4-25), // Done - QA upload ifrench-gut (<= 1:1.0-27), igaelic (<= 0.50-7), ihungarian (<= 0.99.4-2), // Done - QA upload (Ubuntu has 1.2.0, but most // probably this version doesn't work properly even // with older ispell anyway) iirish (<= 2.0-20), iitalian (<= 1:2.3-2), imanx (<= 0.50-8), inorwegian (<= 2.0.10-3.2), iogerman (<= 1:2-26), ipolish (<= 20100612-1), // Done - my package irussian (<= 0.99g5-8.1), iswedish (<= 1.4.5-2), iukrainian (<= 1.6.0-1) If your package is on the above list, could you please rebuilt it against new ispell? Please make sure to declare both Build-Depends, and Depends on `ispell (>= 3.3.02)'. Hopefully your packages should rebuild without any troubles. However please be aware of minor incompatibility in buildhash. The buildhash ${dict}.dict ${dict}.aff ${dict}.hash command used to create two additional files i.e. ${dict}.dict.stat and ${dict}.dict.cnt. With the new buildhash: - the *.cnt file is gone (if your Makefiles needs it, create it with `wc -l < ${dict}.dict'); - the *.stat file is now ${dict}.stat (i.e. the .dict extension got stripped out).

Oh. I don't know if Debian as a whole cares about ispell. Personally, I've taken over the package because I actually use ispell (and prefer it over aspell), and wanted to learn git. Also, according to popcon, ispell is still a bit more popular than aspell. Regards, robert
