[Bug 980130] Re: package myspell-st 20070206-4 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

[Hans Joachim Desserud]

Hello, I came across this bug due to bug 1471075 which I belive is a
duplicate. I see there fix was released for 14.04 in an SRU. Any
thoughts on a fix for 12.04?

  [Impact]

  "update-openoffice-dicts" got removed from dictionaries-common in
  version 1.12.0. But the postinst of myspell-st didn't get updated
  since then and makes the package uninstallable (fails in postinst).

  [Test Case]

  Installing myspell-st fails in the postinst with the above mentioned error in postinst.
  Installing the fixed package finishes without error.
