I think this bug is valid.  Using dict now in Precise, if I run $(dict
-v bat), I get

$ dict -v bat
Configuration file:
   server localhost
   server dict.org
   server dict0.us.dict.org
   server alt0.dict.org
No definitions found for "bat"

But if I run this, it works:

$ dict -h dict.org bat
12 definitions found
...

When dict fails to get a response from localhost, it stops, but
according to the man page it is supposed to continue through the list of
servers until it finds one that works.  I have to comment out
"localhost" in /etc/dictd/dict.conf, and then it works without
specifying -h.

** Changed in: gnome-utils (Ubuntu)
       Status: Invalid => Confirmed
