Bugzilla Bug 6757

The following lines in the aspell 0.50 ebuild are not needed:

# needed to compile

if [ -e /lib/libc-2.2.5.so ] && [ `gcc -dumpversion` == "2.95.3" ]; then
    if [ ! -f /etc/aspell/aspell.conf ]; then
        mkdir -p /etc/aspell
        touch /etc/aspell/aspell.conf
    fi
    if [ ! -f /root/.aspell.conf ]; then
        touch /root/.aspell.conf
    fi
fi


These lines were included as a workaround for the 0.33 aspell ebuilds. I am
pretty sure this not so pretty hack is unnecessary for 0.50. I was one of the
people having problems with the 0.33 version. I tried rebuilding the aspell 0.50
ebuild after removing the aforementioned lines from the ebuild and deleting the
two conf files. It built fine.

good point, I shall remove them shortly

updated in portage.
