Bug Description

On a clean install, when I installed gaim, gtk-spell was one of the additional
packages merged. However spell checking in gaim was not working. After digging
around for a little bit I realized that I needed to install aspell-en and
aspell. After restarting gaim, spell checking was working. I'm not sure if the
aspell dependencies should be part of gtkspell or gaim but thought I'd mention
it to the devs.

Thanks,

Paul Collins

Thanks for your bug. gaim uses libaspell which already Recommends aspell-en has

to fix this issue, I'm closing it. Feel free to reopen if that's still an issue
