Please sync dictionary-el 1.8.7-7 from Debian

[Michael Olson]

Archive admins: Please sync dictionary-el_1.8.7-7 from debian/unstable.

Changes since last sync:
 dictionary-el (1.8.7-7) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * Fix typo in previous changelog entry.

 dictionary-el (1.8.7-6) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * debian/emacsen-install: per Michael W. Olsen, make absolute rather
     than relative symlinks to .el files to accommodate non-standard
     filesystem setups in which /usr/share/$FLAVOR is a symlink.
     (Closes: #431649.)
   * debian/copyright: correctly mark license as GPL 2 *or later*, but
     specifically refer users to /usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2 anyway.

 dictionary-el (1.8.7-5) unstable; urgency=low
 .
   * dictionary.el: per Kevin Ryde, mark the connection as safe to kill
     without bugging the user. (Closes: #417533.)
   * debian/control: tweak dependencies slightly in preparation for
     emacs22.

The dictionary-el 1.8.7-4 package does not seem to be installing correctly on my system, at least with emacs-snapshot.

The following errors are given. I also notice that it creates a bogus "*.el" symlink in /usr/share/emacs-snapshot/site-lisp/dictionary-el/ that points to "../../../emacs/site-lisp/dictionary-el/*.el".

I've submitted the following patch to the Debian package maintainer, which fixes this.

[Michael Olson (mwolson)]

Here's a debdiff against 1.8.7-5. It's important to get the -5 revision into gutsy, because that adds support for emacs22.

[Michael Olson (mwolson)]

And here's an updated version that I prepared after talking with the Debian package maintainer. It's a bit less invasive, and should get picked up in the next version of the package.

[Daniel Holbach (dholbach)]

Reinhard: can you maybe take a look at the patch?

[Reinhard Tartler (siretart)]

debian has the fix already applied, so its best to just sync the package.
