Comment 20 for bug 363619

There's a lot of reports around the Web
- that the de_med dictionary "no longer works"
- that it causes many collateral damages like crashing OOo

I'm surprised that nobody reported this:

$ hunspell -d de_med
Can't open affix or dictionary files.

According to man hunspell, there should be a
de_med.aff file in addition to de_med.dic
in the hunspell-de-med package.

Does "no longer work" mean "no longer work" or "causing problems"?

I think that that dictionary never worked since its introduction in Lucid.
Is that the reason for all your talk and the many problems?
Every fix I see is just dodging the problem.

Nominated for Jaunty, nominated for Karmic,
Can we hope that de_med.aff being added (back?) for Oneiric?
