Severity: minor

This does not work:

        echo hello >dummy; echo hello >dummy2; spell -d dummy dummy2

it yields:

        spell: option argument not given

This is because of a now forgotten change in getopt_long().

Also, the '-d/--dictionary' option is misleading, since it does not
refer to an actual dictionary, but a wordlist.  I propose a '-D'
option to specify an ispell dictionary, while not touching '-d', as I
don't want to break backwards compatibility.  (And in some true spell
implementations, '-d' is also used for specifying a wordlist.)

I believe I sent you this proposed patch quite some time ago, but I
never submitted it to the BTS...

This was fixed in 1.0-13, an intermediate release that was never uploaded:

  spell (1.0-13) unstable; urgency=low

    * Applied patch from Kaare Hviid which fixes the following
      Thanks to Kaare for the patch.
      * fix getopt_long for proper parsing in libc6,
      * Applied a bug fix from Luca Saiu:
        http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-utils/2003-07/msg00345.html,
      * added --ispell-dictionary to specify an ispell dictionary.
    * do not set link to /usr/doc in postinst (fixes lintian bug)
    * ignore SIGCHLD.
      Rewrote part of the select-logic in parent to simplify parsing
      of spell's output.
      This removes the dependency on ibritisch since the error output
      is parsed correctly. (closes: #158514)
