Spellcheck was working fine for english and german language some months ago. Now I can not select german spellckeck for evolution email editor, I can only select English american, british and canadian. I have LINGUAS="de en" in /etc/make.conf and global USEFLAG spell set. Have installed Firefox 3.x, have (re)-emerged aspell, aspell-en, aspell-de, myspell-en, myspell-de, evolution, gnome-spell, enchant. No success. Have emerged latest instable aspell, no sucess. Spellcheck works fine in Firefox 3.0.5, german and english. English spellcheck works fine in evolution, but I can not select german. Seems that Gnome is using myspell/hunspell now, ignoring aspell? stefan@AMD64-X2 ~ $ emerge -pv enchant [ebuild R ] app-text/enchant-1.4.2 USE="hunspell -aspell -zemberek" 0 kB Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB For editor gedit spellcheck works fine, but displayed languages in select box is strange for german, it looks like Unbekannt(de_DE_frami) May this be the problem for evolution?

Please either enable aspel USE flag for enchant or install myspell dictionaries which is the default enchant engine. See comments in bug #255691.
Yup, I'm sure this is same issue as was reported by Ryan in bug 250115. You just need to install spelling dictionaries for new hunspell engine. That's said. Thank you for report. I've added warning about this situation into enchant ebuild. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 250115 ***
Thanks for your comments. For me things remain strange... Please note that I have installed myspell dictionaries. And please note that spellcheck for english works, for german not (in evolution) For my personal use this is not a big problem, I need mainly english check... I am not sure what caused the problems, maybe a profile update, I was asked by emerge some weeks ago to update my 2007 profile. Or maybe Firefox 3.0 install? OK, it seems that Firefox and Gnome now uses myspell/hungspell as default. But I unmerged aspell yesterday, and it was reemerged by revdep-rebuild. OK, I can live with this -- if no other user is concerned we may ignore it. I will report if I find a solution. Forcing enchant to use aspell by USEFLAG may work...

OK, this is the reason why I still need aspell: stefan@AMD64-X2 ~ $ equery depends app-text/aspell [ Searching for packages depending on app-text/aspell... ] app-dicts/aspell-de-0.60_pre20030222 (>=app-text/aspell-0.60) app-dicts/aspell-en-6.0.0 (>=app-text/aspell-0.60) app-dicts/aspell-fr-0.60 (>=app-text/aspell-0.60) kde-base/kdelibs-3.5.9-r4 (spell? >=app-text/aspell-0.60.5) But Gnome should use not aspell on my box. My guess: myspell-de may be the reason for the problem.
Stefan but have you enabled German dictionaries in evolution? Also you have not mentioned what evolution version you use...

Also you have not >mentioned what evolution version you use... stefan@AMD64-X2 ~ $ emerge -pv evolution [ebuild R ] mail-client/evolution-2.22.3.1 USE="crypt dbus hal ipv6 spell ssl -debug -kerberos -krb4 -ldap -mono -networkmanager -nntp -pda -profile" 0 kB Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB enabled German dictionaries? Hmm -- was do you mean? This is an old installation, it was working some months ago. I have LINGUAS="de en" in /etc/make.conf and spell USEFLAG, I try to select german language in evolution menu, but there is only english. Please note my remark to Gnome editor gedit, there I can select german spellchecker, but its entries look like Unbekannt(de_DE_frami) Unbekannt means unknown, it should have been Deutsch==German. I think for further investigation I may try to install more languages, but I think something like "emerge myspell-fr" will not do, I will have to add entries to LINGUAS="de en" which may cause rebuild of many packages...
Stefan, thank you for your report. This is really issue in our package and we'll try to resolve it as soon as possible. Gnome team: The issue here is that currently stable evolution uses gnome-spell, which in turn uses hardcoded list of dictionaries instead of picking what enchant provides. That means evolution and other applications will never see some myspell dictionaries. To fix this issue we need different enchant patch: http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=11001 It was included in fedora-9 release: http://www.spinics.net/lists/fedora-package-announce/msg10302.html relevant bug in their bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=426347 And I would like to see it in portage tree ASAP. @gnome give me your bless please to commit updated ebuild for gnome-spell. At least I've checked and with this patch everything works as expected. Thank you. Seems that to them moment I'll have to revert stabilization of enchant-1.4.2 since it breaks stable systems.

looks like it's something to apply over the current gnome-spell-1.0.8-enchant.patch. Could you attach a diff over the current src_unpack of gnome-spell-1.0.8 ?
(In reply to comment #10) > looks like it's something to apply over the current > gnome-spell-1.0.8-enchant.patch. In place. And ebuild patch attached above. Thanks in advance for review.
given the patch size, I'm currently waiting for distfiles-local sync. ping my back tomorrow.
in tree as 1.0.8-r1.
