Binary package hint: yelp
Hi,
I have just installed Ubuntu Karmic 9.10 on x64 architecture.
I am not sure the exact package effected, but it's probably myspel-en-za 1:3.0.1-8ubuntu1
I reported this bug in Ubuntu Jaunty. The bug seems to have been propogated again in Karmic:
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=100281
The south African English Dictionary is missing lots and lots of words. It's practically unusable. This problem is present in both OpenOffice and Evolution. For example the word "have" is in the dictionary, but the word "havin"g is reported as being a spelling error. The word "dad" is in the dictionary but "dad's" is reported as a spelling error.
Thanks for looking into this

The bug:
The south African English Dictionary is missing lots and lots of words. It's practically unusable. This problem is present in both OpenOffice and Evolution. For example the word "have" is in the dictionary, but the word "havin"g is reported as being a spelling error. The word "dad" is in the dictionary but "dad's" is reported as a spelling error.
A bug in the en_ZA dictionary was fixed in OOo upstream and worked-around in Debian at the same time. However the Debian work-around broke the OOo fix.
The fix:
Debian reverted this workaround in 1:3.2.0~rc2-5, and we have merged that into Maverick (1:3.2.0~rc2-5ubuntu1). Attached is a debdiff to fix this for lucid. (The old nominations for other releases can be ignored)
Impact:
This affects all English speaking South African desktop users. It will affect all applications that provide spellchecking. It's highly user-visible and can't be good for the image of OSS in ZA.
On the other hand, the South African english dictionary has been broken in OOo for a long time, so many ZA users have probably switched to en_GB or en_ZA years ago.
TEST CASE:
1. Run from a terminal: LANG=en_ZA.utf8 openoffice.org
2. Start a new text document.
3. Confirm that OOo is spellchecking in South African English, if not, tell it to.
4. Type a word
5. You should see tens of thousands of errors appearing in the console. This is a sign of the bug
6. The following words should be considered to be correct by the spellechecker, but not all will be: have having dad dad's biltong braai bliksem
Regression potential:
Minimal. The changes only affect the myspell-en-za package, removing the symlink /usr/share/hunspell/en_ZA.aff and installing a real file.
