[Bug 363619] Re: Language-support-extra-de breaks OpenOffice spell checker in Jaunty

 

I'm sorry. My above should be disregarded.
According to the following, de_med needs no .aff file of its own.

man hunspell
       -d en_US,en_geo,en_med,de_DE,de_med

       en_US and de_DE are base dictionaries, they consist of  aff  and  dic
       file  pairs:  en_US.aff, en_US.dic and de_DE.aff, de_DE.dic.  En_geo,
       en_med, de_med are special dictionaries: dictionaries  without  affix
       file. Special dictionaries are optional extension of the base dictio‐
       naries usually with special (medical, law etc.)  terms. There  is  no
       naming  convention  for  special dictionaries, only the ".dic" exten‐
       sion: dictionaries without affix file will be  an  extension  of  the
       preceding  base  dictionary  (right order of the parameter list needs
       for good suggestions). First item of -d parameter list must be a base
       dictionary.

Title:
  Language-support-extra-de breaks OpenOffice spell checker in Jaunty

Status in NULL Project:
  Invalid
Status in “language-selector” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “language-support-extra-de” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  See bug 329968.
  hunspell-de-med in language-support-extra-de causes malfunction of openoffice's spell checker. It does not look like this issue will be fixed in time for Jaunty's release. Taking into account that everyone installing German language support over language-selector will be affected by this, I would suggest to remove hunspell-de-med as a workaround.
