With the new composer in Evolution 2.24 the old gnome-spell dependency is gone. Instead Enchant is now called directly, see this bug for reference: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=522153 Modified the ebuild and tried myself: Spell checking works just fine without gnome-spell. So time to remove it ;) Reproducible: Always
Wow, what a wonderful bug number :)
You're right. Verified, and committed without a bump.
