Bug Description
Hunspell is not used when myspell is not install, enchant falls back to inferior aspell.
I have installed on Ubuntu (Natty) the following packages:
libenchant1c2a 1.6.0-1
aspell 0.60.6-4ubuntu1
hunspell 1.2.11-1ubuntu1
and a series of dictionaries but no package with the myspell executable.
When using e.g. gedit that uses enchant, enchant will use aspell instead of
hunspell. I have verified this by running both hunspell and aspell manually on
the same document. The false positives that I see in gedit are indeed from
aspell.
I did not use a custom .enchant file, just the normal installation that would
use:
*:myspell,
So I would expect hunspell and not aspell.
How can this be solved without having to install myspell executable?
I consider this a major bug because many many users might expect that they are
using a very recent and acurate spell check from hunspell but are actually
thrown back to inferior checking with aspell.
Can enchant bugs be linked to upstream bugzilla bugs in https:/
