Details

Description:
hunspell-en_GB installs a en_GB-large.aff and a en_GB-large.dic files in /usr/share/hunspell, which apparently isn’t enough to make hunspell discover it.

Adding a symlink from both files to en_GB.aff and en_GB.dic is enough to make Gajim see the language is installed, and use it, and is exactly what installing hunspell-en does (except it also adds a ton of other variants, all symlinked to en_US).

It would make sense to either make hunspell-en_GB depend on hunspell-en, or to plain merge them together if they can’t work without each other.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
hunspell 1.6.2-1
hunspell-en_GB 2017.01.22-2
hunspell-en 2017.01.22-2

* config and/or log files etc.
N/A

Steps to reproduce:
pacman -S hunspell-en_GB
Then use any project using it, such as gajim-git.
This task depends upon

  • Field changed: Summary (hunspell-en_GB is unusable without hunspell-en → [hunspell-en_GB] is unusable without hunspell-en)
  • Field changed: Status (Unconfirmed → Assigned)
  • Task assigned to Andreas Radke (AndyRTR)
The base en_GB ==> en_GB-large links should be part of the hunspell-en_GB package...

(Actually I am not 100% sure why they aren't just named en_GB instead.)
