[Bug 760724] Re: Missing symbolic links for pt-br dictionary in /usr/share/myspell/dicts
This bug was fixed in the package myspell-pt-br - 20131030-3
---------------
myspell-pt-br (20131030-3) unstable; urgency=low
* Rebuild against sid dictionaries-common-dev 1.23.2 to properly clean
dirs.
* debian/rules: No longer ship symlinks to /var/lib/aspell.
* Close old (LP: #760724), myspell symlinks are obsolete.
* Close old (LP: #108899), BrOffice dictionary is used since 2007.04.11.

Title:
Missing symbolic links for pt-br dictionary in
/usr/share/myspell/dicts
Status in “myspell-pt-br” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Binary package hint: myspell-pt-br
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu Natty (development branch)
Release: 11.04
$ apt-cache policy myspell-pt-br
myspell-pt-br:
Installed: 20101030-1
Candidate: 20101030-1

en-us and it-it symbolic links exist in /usr/share/myspell/dicts. As a
visible consequence, you can spell check in these languages in
Firefox, for instance. Although myspell-pt-br is installed, there's no
link for it in that same folder, so Firefox doesn't offer Brazilian
Portuguese as a language for spell checking.
I added them as root pointing to the hunspell dictionaries:
$ ls -l /usr/share/myspell/dicts/pt*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 2011-04-14 16:04 /usr/share/myspell/dicts/pt_BR.aff -> ../../hunspell/pt_BR.aff
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 2011-04-14 16:04 /usr/share/myspell/dicts/pt_BR.dic -> ../../hunspell/pt_BR.dic
When I restarted Firefox, Brazilian Portuguese was now an option for
spell checking.
On a side note, I wanted to as you: why are there two links for each
language in /usr/share/myspell/dicts/? E.g. one is en-US (with dash)
and the other is en_US (with underscore):
$ ls -l /usr/share/myspell/dicts/en*.aff
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 2011-04-13 13:41 /usr/share/myspell/dicts/en_US.aff -> ../../hunspell/en_US.aff
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 24 2011-04-13 13:41 /usr/share/myspell/dicts/en-US.aff -> ../../hunspell/en_US.aff
That makes Firefox recognize two different U.S. English dictionaries.
Are both symlinks really necessary?
Thanks,
