/etc/init.d/dictd line 22
	pushd ${DLIBDIR} >/dev/null

pushd is not a command in posix sh.  It is a bash builtin.  It is therefore not legal in an init script, and causes it to fail on systems where sh is not bash.

As an alternative I suggest storing the value of "$PWD" in a variable, using cd, then later on using the variable in a cd statement.
