I think this error results from a lack of eijiro dictionary data
because I find the following error message.
"""
Building /usr/share/dict/eijiro.sdic ... /media/cdrom/eijiro/eijiro*.txt: No 
such file or directory
done.
"""

Eijiro's CD is a commercial product and the debian package cannot include it 
without permission,
so the installation inevitably fails. I think this package is, as it is, 
useless for users
who want to use japanese-english and english-japanese dictionaries immediately. 
I think this package needs to be reviewed again.
