gtkspell will build and install without having a dictionary installed. Things that then use it will not function or have spellchecking supported removed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge aspell but not a dict 2. emerge gtkspell 3. emerge app (such a gaim) Actual Results: gaim will not have spellcheck enabled nor give error that it's missing since gtkspell is installed (just not functional) Expected Results: gtkspell depends on at least one dict. To fix, emerge a dict package, such as aspell-en and re-emerge gtkspell. Apps work as expected.
The aspell ebuild clearly states at the end 'You will need to install a dictionary now.' . I know that in a big emerge this may be missed, but i think that is the best that can be done at this time. We dont want to impose spell dicts on people. I think this should go as WONTFIX or LATER wranglers.
agreed also, we have a bug about logging the einfo's at the end so this wont be missed
