Package: dictionary-el
Version: 1.8.7-5ubuntu1
Severity: important
I notice that when I install dictionary-el 1.8.7-5 on a sustem that
has dash as /bin/sh, post-install fails with the following error.
Setting up dictionary-el (1.8.7-4) ...
install/dictionary-el: Handling install for emacsen flavor emacs-snapshot
>>Error occurred processing *.el: File error (("Opening input file" "no such
>>file or directory" "/usr/share/emacs-snapshot/site-lisp/dictionary-el/*.el"))
I have looked into the problem and found a solution. A patch to fix
the problem will be attached to this bug. I have tested this patch
successfully, as can be seen by the version string in this report :^)
