Description:
Enchant is supposed to retrieve Hunspell dictionaries from /usr/share/enchant/myspell, but for some reason I don't know, hunspell dictionaries are placed in /usr/share/myspell. Since I imagine some programs may not use enchant but (directly) myspell, guess /usr/share/myspell is the right directory for myspell/hunspell dictionaries to be. So Enchant has to be able to retrieve those dictionaries.

So, I could fix it in my system by creating a symbolic link from /usr/share/enchant/myspell (created by me) to /usr/share/myspell, and that worked out.

Would it be possible to make Enchant package create such a symbolic link when being installed, to make sure it works with hunspell dictionaries?


Steps to reproduce:
Install a hunspell dictionary and try to use spellchecker in an app which uses Enchant (KDEs, for example).
This task depends upon

Seems that nobody take care about this in the past:  FS#6698  - consistent dictionary location & adding hunspell support to enchant
