Description David Morton 2007-02-13 02:33:27 UTC

m-w.com (Merriam-Webster) changed their html output format sometime in December 2006 which broke app-dicts/edictionary.  The updated version 2.2 fixes the parsing.  The latest version in portage is 1.2.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge app-dicts/edictionary - portage will grab version 1.2
2.run "edict test" on command line
3.no results found due to parsing errors

Actual Results:  
see 3. above

Expected Results:  
definition for test returned

bumping the ebuild name to 2.2 and re-emerging fixes it. 1.2 should be removed and replaced with 2.2
