ok, I'll figure something out for this dictionary team, thoughts on exorcising ispell from the tree entirely? are we sure that ispell is not used anymore? i'm very skeptical that nuking them would be a good idea. we could do this as a pkg_postinst() for both ispell and aspell using the alternatives eclass. any chance that kmail has some other way to determine which spell checker to use? I cannot reproduce this error with kmail from KDE 3.3. This is with app-dicts/aspell-en-0.51.1 app-dicts/aspell-de-0.50.2 app-text/aspell-0.50.5-r4 and no ispell installed (I also have no spell or ispell in my path). The spellchecker library was rewritten for KDE 3.3 (now kspell2 instead of kspell). That probably fixed the detection issues with aspell. Check bug #67748. The problem is that new ebuilds of aspell create /usr/lib/aspell-[version] and kde still looks after /usr/lib/aspell/. Creating a link solves the problem, although somewhat ugly solution. Ricardo can you confirm that rebuilding kdelibs doesn't fix this (see bug #67748)? Also aspell-0.6 has only been in the three for a couple of months so I don't think its the problem. Since #67748 is fixed lets close this also. Closing. |
