Package: dictionaries-common-dev
Version: 1.10.2
Severity: normal
Hi,
While experimenting with using `auto-hash' entries for ibritish/iamerican
packages, I've found that a dictionary package fails to install when
the following conditions are met:
- dictionary provided in the package is selected as the default one
- /var/lib/ispell/$dict.hash file doesn't exist (e.g. this is an
initial install, the file is not provided by the package itself, and
ispell-autobuildhash hasn't been run yet).
The autogenerated posinst contains the following:
# Automatically added by installdeb-ispell
dico_class="ispell"
dico_compat="british.compat british-huge.compat british-large.compat
british-small.compat"
for i in $dico_compat; do
>"/var/lib/$dico_class/$i"
done
It seems that the existance of the default link is checked before
ispell-autobuildhash got a chance to be called, so I think sth like
the following should be added to postinst (and I've just checed that
it actually solves the problem):
hash_files="................"
for i in $hash_files; do
touch "/var/lib/$dico_class/$i" # or >"/var/lib/$dico_class/$i",
# if it's OK to overwrite the file
contents, It probably
# should be fine, as ispell-autobuildhash
will overwrite it anyway
done
Just for reference, here're output from installation:

When trying to make the default link to a ispell dictionary

report this as a bug to the

In the meantime select other default value for your ispell dictionary.
