Aha, great, missed that. Then all is well, I think. > the source hunspell-sv instead builds 2 binaries hunspell-sv-se and > myspell-sv-se.

I decided that some testing is a good thing as a base for decision, so I created a PPA: https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/lo-dicts It includes libreoffice-dictionaries from Debian sid, with a few adjustments in debian/control. I have identified two other source packages which need to be changed, so the PPA also includes modified builds of: * openoffice.org-hyphenation * language-selector There are three kinds of debian/control adjustments in lo-dicts: 1. The version number of lo-dicts in Ubuntu is 1:4.2.1-0ubuntu3, so I replaced the occurrences of "(<= 1:3.3.0-4)" in Breaks/Replaces with "(<< 1:5)". 2. Added "Replaces" fields to new hunspell-* packages which conflict with other packages. This gives them precedence over conflicting packages, and at least in Ubuntu I think that feels safer, considering that language support packages are typically pulled by language-selector in Ubuntu, and not so often picked manually by the users. 3. Added "Replaces"/"Conflicts" fields to new hyphen-* packages which replace hyph_* dictionaries in openoffice.org-hyphenation 0.8. After having enabled the PPA, I could smoothly upgrade with Synaptic and add new packages by opening gnome-language-selector. @Mattia: Could you please review the changes I made to debian/control, and consider them for inclusion in the Debian repository. With those changes, I think that a sync is not only possible, but also the preferred way to do it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice-dictionaries in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1510198 Title: Rebase/Reimplement Ubuntu changes upon Debian (possibly upstream them) Status in libreoffice-dictionaries package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: libreoffice-dictionaries hasnt been synced from Debian for a while and has Ubuntu-local change.
