Hi, thanks for the info,

Seems that there is some confusion about what "wordlist" means here. It stands for plain list of plain words like that provided by wfrench, that
is, something that can be used by "look" and friends.

aspell-fr is not a wordlist but a spellchecking dictionary to be used by
aspell and no symlink from /usr/share/dict/words is expected to it.

Regards,

Hi Agustin,

So does that mean that actually it's just a matter of installing this wfrench? I dont think I ever specifically did so on most install I did but never hit that issue. Is that by any chance something done by the debian-installer?

Shouldn't dictionaries-common at least make sure, when installed, that it point to a real words dictionary, have a dpkg Depends: (or at least Recommends:) on some sort of string like wordlist that wamerican, wfrench etc should have as Provides:. Yeah, I guess it may be a lot of packages to update for a rarely hit bug. But it would still be a cheap change :-)
(there is already this works-with::dictionary tag)

Or maybe it's just debootstrap that could get at least wamerican, since it's supposed to build up a proper system more or less similar to debian-installer?

What's your pick?

Cheers,
