Hello Roy.
thank you for your quick reply. > The official site of StarDict (http://stardict.sourceforge.net/) provide > many converted dictionaries, including English<->Chinese, > Gemany<->English and Frances<->English. However, the dictionary files > are splited out from this package because of license issue. You can > download them from http://stardict.sourceforge.net/Dictionaries.php and > extract to directory /usr/share/stardict/dic. I know this since it is mentioned on the website. As stated in my bug report, I have used the RPMs provided there to create debs with alien and install them. But I was arguing that this is not a good solution for the average user (especially with a low bandwidth connection to the internet -- or none at all). > The reason why I don't package the dictionaries have been describe in > http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=280286 Thanks for that information. But I was not refering to these dictionaries when I asked you to include dependencies and -- if possible -- make them available to StarDict: there are freedict dictionaries included in Debian itself, my current Sarge snapshot DVD1 has all these: ./pool/main/f/freedict/dict-freedict-deu-ita_1.1-4_all.deb ./pool/main/f/freedict/dict-freedict-hun-eng_1.1-4_all.deb ./pool/main/f/freedict/dict-freedict-deu-nld_1.1-4_all.deb ./pool/main/f/freedict/dict-freedict-por-eng_1.1-4_all.deb ./pool/main/f/freedict/dict-freedict-eng-hun_1.1-4_all.deb ./pool/main/f/freedict/dict-freedict-lat-deu_1.1-4_all.deb ./pool/main/f/freedict/dict-freedict-nld-fra_1.1-4_all.deb ./pool/main/f/freedict/dict-freedict-eng-iri_1.1-4_all.deb ./pool/main/f/freedict/dict-freedict-fra-nld_1.1-4_all.deb ./pool/main/f/freedict/dict-freedict-nld-deu_1.1-4_all.deb ./pool/main/f/freedict/dict-freedict-eng-por_1.1-4_all.deb ./pool/main/f/freedict/dict-freedict-eng-rus_1.1-4_all.deb ./pool/main/f/freedict/dict-freedict-swe-eng_1.1-4_all.deb ./pool/main/f/freedict/dict-freedict-eng-swe_1.1-4_all.deb ./pool/main/f/freedict/dict-freedict-nld-eng_1.1-4_all.deb ./pool/main/f/freedict/dict-freedict-eng-nld_1.1-4_all.deb ./pool/main/f/freedict/dict-freedict-deu-fra_1.1-4_all.deb ./pool/main/f/freedict/dict-freedict-fra-deu_1.1-4_all.deb ./pool/main/f/freedict/dict-freedict-eng-ita_1.1-4_all.deb ./pool/main/f/freedict/dict-freedict-eng-lat_1.1-4_all.deb ./pool/main/f/freedict/dict-freedict-eng-spa_1.1-4_all.deb ./pool/main/f/freedict/dict-freedict-spa-eng_1.1-4_all.deb ./pool/main/f/freedict/dict-freedict-lat-eng_1.1-4_all.deb ./pool/main/f/freedict/dict-freedict-eng-fra_1.1-4_all.deb ./pool/main/f/freedict/dict-freedict-fra-eng_1.1-4_all.deb ./pool/main/f/freedict/dict-freedict-eng-deu_1.1-4_all.deb ./pool/main/f/freedict/dict-freedict-deu-eng_1.1-4_all.deb So my request was to make THESE existing packages available. I am sorry if my bug report was unclear on this. As these packages are included with Debian I presume they are in full conformity with Debian regulations according licenses and copyright. I would be very grateful, if you would consider my original request based on these packages. And I am sure others would like this, too. Because, as I said before, a dictionary tool without dictionaries (that come with it or are installed easily) is pretty useless. And I am not talking uber-geek here, but "average user".
