Thanks for your input, Mattia. Yeah, apparently I had installed an older myspell-es version for my test case.
Uploaded a new variant to the PPA. https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/lo-dicts-symlinks * Made hunspell-es conflict to myspell-es (not sure it's necessary, but it mirrors upstream) * Made hyphen-lt conflict to openoffice.org-hyphenation-lt (the ispell-lt changes in <https://bugs.debian.org/824401> won't affect Xenial) * Dropped the ku_TR.* links So now, the million-dollar question: Is there anything else? ;) ** Changed in: libreoffice-dictionaries (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: Fix Committed => In Progress ** Tags removed: verification-needed -- 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/1574745 Title: Missing symlinks to match locales Status in libreoffice-dictionaries package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in libreoffice-dictionaries source package in Xenial: In Progress Status in libreoffice-dictionaries package in Debian: Fix Released Bug description: [Impact] Dictionaries like /usr/share/hunspell/es_ANY.aff /usr/share/hunspell/es_ANY.dic and /usr/share/hyphen/hyph_sv.dic are not recognized by LibreOffice, since their names don't include country codes. The proposed uploads in this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/lo-dicts-symlinks renames such files, and also adds symlinks in some cases for locales with other country codes but the 'main' locale for a language. [Test Case] Example: * Install the Swedish language via Language Support * Start libreoffice with a Swedish locale LC_CTYPE=sv_SE.UTF-8 libreoffice --writer * Find that hyphenation is not available [Regression Potential] There is a drawback with this fix: For e.g. Spanish and Arabic users the symlinks will add items in the spellcheck menus of other applications but LibreOffice, where it would have worked without those symlinks. OTOH, this is the way it has been handled in Ubuntu up to 15.10, so the fix basically restores the previous behavior. Other than that, the regression risk is low. This is only about files (including symlinks) in the /usr/share/{hunspell,hyphen,mythes} directories with limited affect on the system.
