[Bug 253769] Re: Seamonkey spell checker default bad, adding dictionaries broken

[stlubuntu]

The command:

dpkg -l | grep myspell

successfully completes, but no output.

In response to the info Fabien asked for:

>What do you have in /usr/lib/seamonkey/dictionaries ?
>This should be a link to /usr/share/myspell/dicts and then, it should contain (at least) all the myspell >dicts installed on your system.

The link does exist in /usr/lib/seamonkey/dictionaries
but it appears that the /myspell/dicts subfolders do not even exist under
/usr/share

The output you show in your above post appear to have version numbers of 2.4.0 which
tells me that you might have OpenOffice 2.4.0 installed on that machine and that is 
where those dictionaries come from.  OpenOffice was never installed at all on this pc
(as it is an old Pentium II-333.)  In fact the ubuntu-desktop / gnome packages were 
never even installed.  Abiword was installed and works fine.  I would prefer not to
install OpenOffice as a workaround (limited hard drive space remaining.)

Thanks for your help and assistance on this.  Puppy uses seamonkey -- I wonder
if this bug could be duplicated on puppy (without OpenOffice.)

Best Regards.
