Bug description:
  In Ubuntu 20.04;
  ~ > look accident
  accident
  accident's
  accidental
  accidental's
  accidentally
  accidentals
  accidents
  In Ubuntu 22.04;
  ~ > look accident
  (nothing)
  ~ > look acc
  Accenture
  Accenture's
  Accra
  Accra's
  Digging deeper; the dictionary at /usr/share/dict/words seems OK.
  If I copy the "look" binary from Ubuntu 20.04 and use it on Ubuntu 22.04 it works;
  ~ > ./look accident
  accident
  accidental
  accidentally
  accidental's
  accidentals
  accident's
  accidents
