Public bug reported: Hunspell is not used when myspell is not install, enchant falls back to inferior aspell.
I have installed on Ubuntu (Natty) the following packages: libenchant1c2a 1.6.0-1 aspell 0.60.6-4ubuntu1 hunspell 1.2.11-1ubuntu1 and a series of dictionaries but no package with the myspell executable. When using e.g. gedit that uses enchant, enchant will use aspell instead of hunspell. I have verified this by running both hunspell and aspell manually on the same document. The false positives that I see in gedit are indeed from aspell. I did not use a custom .enchant file, just the normal installation that would use: *:myspell,aspell,ispell So I would expect hunspell and not aspell. How can this be solved without having to install myspell executable? I consider this a major bug because many many users might expect that they are using a very recent and acurate spell check from hunspell but are actually thrown back to inferior checking with aspell.
