Hi Russ, I filed a wishlist bug #593487 against dictionaries-common, which aspell- autobuildhash(8) suggests that approach, in order to have that tracked and sorted out. I'm not quite satisfied with such a suggestion as given in the man- page without it being clearly justified by very strong reasoning, and as it turned out, it might be completely unneeded. -- pub 4096R/0E4BD0AB <people.fccf.net/danchev/key pgp.mit.edu> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-release-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
