Bug#518913: aspell cannot create hash file for "en"

severity 518913 important
thanks

I'm downgrading this bug since I don't believe it to be a wide-spread
issue.

...written be me. :)  It doesn't seem particularly relevant though.  Are
you sure that's the link you meant to send?

Can you please send the output of:

# aspell-autobuildhash --force --debug

Thanks,

Bug#518913: aspell cannot create hash file for "en"

2009-03-09 Thread Joe Thompson 
Package: aspell
Version: 0.60.6-1
Severity: grave
Tags: l10n
Justification: renders package unusable

After upgrading from debian sarge, through etch, and finally to lenny, I 
noticed when trying to install AbiWord that aspell failed to create a hash 
file for locale "en".  In fact the problem I get is exactly as described 
here: 

http://osdir.com/ml/linux.debian.devel.dictionary/2005-07/msg00010.html

which as you can see is a 3.5-year-old message.  Nonetheless, that's the 
behavior I see -- anytime anything triggers aspell-autobuildhash, I get an 
ncurses dialog saying:

-
Problems rebuilding an aspell hash file (en)

** Error: Could not build the hash file for en-common

This error was caused by package providing 'en', although it can be made 
evident during other package postinst. Please complain to the maintainer 
of package providing 'en'.

Until this problem is fixed you will not be able to use aspell with 'en'.

I've tried reinstalling all of the following:

aspell
aspell-en
libaspell15
dictionaries-common

and nothing has fixed it.
