Bug Description

Libreoffice will put red lines under the words "kanskje" and "og", quite high-frequency, correctly spelled words. Enchant does similar things

$ echo 'og kanskje det skjedde'>file; enchant -l -d nn_NO file;enchant -l -d nb_NO file
warning: line 190: incompatible stripping characters and condition
warning: line 409: incompatible stripping characters and condition
warning: line 410: incompatible stripping characters and condition
og
kanskje

kanskje

(The problem doesn't seem to exist upstream; "kanskje" and "som" get no errors for me on Arch Linx, and openSUSE and Fedora have been reported as OK http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.internationalization.norwegian/6530 )

There are lots of other very common words, in both Norwegian Nynorsk (nn) and Norwegian Bokmål (nb) that are missing.
Here are some nn-words I've come across lateley in libreoffice, a lot of them quite common:

Note: this exists upstream in the debian package too. A temporary workaround is to get the newest dictionaries from https://alioth.debian.org/frs/download.php/2357/no_NO-pack2-2.0.10.zip and copy over the bad files like this:

This is a problem for me as well and all the workarounds seem to send you to http://paste.pocoo.org/raw/538200/. I've allready done this with oneiric, where it worked perfectly, but the problem reappeard after installing precise. The page, however, has disappeared. Does someone know to do this?

Not sure what exactly the script said, but I believe this should work:

mkdir spellstuff
cd spellstuff
wget https://alioth.debian.org/frs/download.php/2357/no_NO-pack2-2.0.10.zip
unzip no_NO-pack2-2.0.10.zip
unzip nn_NO.zip
unzip nb_NO.zip
sudo cp n{b,n}_NO.{aff,dic} /usr/share/hunspell/

(then
cd .. && rm -rf spellstuff
to get rid of the temporary files)

URL changed. Updated workaround:

wget https://alioth.debian.org/frs/download.php/file/3764/no_NO-pack2-2.1.zip
unzip -n no_NO-pack2-2.1.zip
