[dlancer]

BOM symbols (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark) in ru_RU.aff affect some package installation.

1) Ubuntu 12.04 amd64 release
2) hunspell-ru 20120101-1

from postgresql 9.1 installation log:
Building PostgreSQL dictionaries from installed myspell/hunspell packages...
  en_au
  en_gb
  en_us
  en_za
ERROR: no ecoding defined in /usr/share/hunspell/ru_RU.aff, ignoring

When BOM removed from ru_RU.aff, encoding (UTF8) is recognized and installation processed without errors.

The files /usr/share/hunspell/ru_RU.aff and /usr/share/hunspell/ru_RU.dic also have wrong line endings: "\r\n" instead of just "\n".
