Please note the package names here: "wbritish". > Yes, I do have one of them installed:- > > chris@q957$ dpkg -l | grep british > ii ibritish 3.4.05-1 all British > English dictionary for ispell (standard version) That one says "ibritish". It's a different package. > But reinstalling doesn't get the file back:- > > root@t470# apt reinstall ibritish That's because it's not a file provided by that package. The file list for ibritish is at <https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/all/ibritish/filelist> and if you read it, you'll see that it doesn't put any files in the /usr/share/dict directory. The wbritish package, on the other hand, does, as you can see by reading <https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/all/wbritish/filelist>. Also, *neither* of these packages has anything to do with Firefox, which I thought was the original complaint in this thread.
