myspell-ro should be removed from lucid

[Lucian Adrian Grijincu]

Binary package hint: myspell-ro

Starting from lucid, openoffice provides a dictionary for the Romanian language in the hunspell-ro package.

There is no need for the myspell-ro package any more and it should be removed.

[Lucian Adrian Grijincu (lucian.grijincu)]

Jani, I subscribed you to this bug because you're the maintainer of myspell-ro.

If you have time to let the necessary parties to remove this package, please do so. I'd do it right now but I don't know what's the proper protocol in this problem.

[Jani Monoses (jani)]

Chris Cheney mailed me yesterday about the conflict with hunspell-ro so it is known and I forwarded it to Adi and Alex since they know more about this. I am not the maintainer of myspell-ro, just uploaded it and am not up-to-date with the status of dictionaries.
So it definitely can be removed if all involved know it is the right thing to do.

[Jani Monoses (jani)]

this is still in Lucid universe as far as I can see.

[Lucian Adrian Grijincu (lucian.grijincu)]

Jani, can you find out what keeps myspell-ro in Lucid?

I can't find anything depending on it:

$ apt-cache rdepends myspell-ro
myspell-ro
Reverse Depends:

but as I understood, if it's not pulled by something into main/ it won't be built any more.

[Jani Monoses (jani)]

sure, it is not in main/ on the CD but still in the archive despite not being used anymore, and can confuse users.

[Emmet Hikory (persia)]

Not in Debian. Not useful in Ubuntu. Seems like a good removal candidate to me.
