When trying to emerge app-dicts/aspell-de-0.50.2 or app-dicts/aspell-en-0.51.1, the make process always terminates like this: >>> Compiling source in /var/tmp/portage/aspell-en-0.51.1/work/aspell-en-0.51-1 ... Finding Dictionary file location ... /usr/lib/aspell Finding Data file location ... = /usr/lib/aspell /usr/bin/word-list-compress d < en-only.cwl | /usr/bin/aspell --lang=en create master ./en-only.rws /usr/bin/word-list-compress d < en_CA-only.cwl | /usr/bin/aspell --lang=en create master ./en_CA-only.rws /iso8859-1.dat" can not be opened for reading. make: *** [en-only.rws] Error 1 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... /iso8859-1.dat" can not be opened for reading. make: *** [en_CA-only.rws] Error 1 It seems, aspell wants to read /iso8859-1.dat, but it should be /usr/share/aspell/iso8859-1.dat. This does not happen when modifying the Makefile and using .cwl.rws: ${WORD_LIST_COMPRESS} d < $< | ${ASPELL} ${ASPELL_FLAGS} --lang=de create master $@ instead of .cwl.rws: ${WORD_LIST_COMPRESS} d < $< | ${ASPELL} ${ASPELL_FLAGS} --lang=de create master ./$@ But then emerge fails, since aspell wants to write to the existing files in /usr/share/aspell instead of a local file.

It also fails on 2006.0 for me, please fix as many packages depend on it. Do you need additional info?
I can't reproduce this. If it is still happening, comment here and re-open this bug.
there were remains of an older aspell-version that didn't "emerge --unmerge" properly. I "emerge --unmerge"d everything that had aspell in its name and let a 'locate aspell | grep -v portage | xargs rm -rf' finish the rest. I think it found a file /etc/aspell/aspell.conf and some files in /usr that weren't deleted. After that, the problem was gone. Regards, Georg
