Comment 1 Carsten Lohrke (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-02-12 22:36:27 UTC
No. It relies on the kspell librariy provided by kdelibs built with spell use flag, which correctly specifies aspell as dependency. It would be a bit over the top adding a spell use flag, depending on kde-base/kdelibs:3.5[spell] to every application optionally using this facility, imho. A joe user distribution would simply force this feature. Gentoo isn't exactly a joe user distro.
Comment 2 Caleb Cushing 2009-02-13 02:27:32 UTC
it doesn't work for me? I had to merge aspell manually, if you are suggesting that there is a problem with withe the dependency resolver you should assign to portage. I emerge -avuDN world daily. is it possible that this dependancy of yours is satisfied by hunspell? if so that's not satisfactory as konversation does not appear to be capable of using hunspell.
Comment 3 Caleb Cushing 2009-02-13 02:32:15 UTC
zapping, nvm... I see your point I thought I had spell enabled globally and did not.
