Description: Firefox 5 will not launch without hunspell 1.3.2-1 or greater. But this is not specified in the dependencies. So it is possible to upgrade to Firefox 5 on a system with the previous version of hunspell and then find that Firefox won't launch.


Additional info:
* package version(s)
Firefox 5.0-1
* error message when launching firefox from terminal
/usr/lib/firefox-5.0/firefox-bin: error while loading shared libraries: libhunspell-1.3.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Steps to reproduce:
Upgrade to Firefox 5 on a system with hunspell lower than 1.3.2-1.
Firefox package does not direct pacman to check hunspell for it's version.
Firefox appears to upgrade normally.
Firefox won't launch.
This task depends upon
