Bug Description
gnomesword depends on sword-text which is a virtual package. This virtual package installs sword-text-arasvd, presumably because it is alphabetically first in the list. This adds the Arabic bible module to gnomesword.
Perhaps sword-text should be dropped as a dependency by gnomesword and have the user install the appropriate sword-text language pack as they wish e.g. sword-language-

Thank you very much for your bug report.
Gnomesword is no longer developed. It has been renamed into Xiphos see xiphos.org
New version of our packaging doesn't behave like that anymore.
It is Ubuntu policy not to introduce new packages into old releases.
Crosswire packaging team is working on updating Sword, Xiphos, Bibletime and Bibledit in Debian and Karmic. But additionally we provide our packages for older releases. You can try our packages from the PPA https:/
We have Hardy - Karmic packages there.
Please comment on this bug if you are still experiencing this issue with the Xiphos package from the PPA.
