hyphen-{hr,pl,ru}, Recommends: libreoffice-writer, all other hypen packages Suggests:

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

These packages are synced from Debian. It would be great if someone affected by this bug would report this issue to Debian.

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Debian/Bugs

Well, I just uploaded hyphen-ru, which is not synced currently, to the queue.

What really should be done is that libreoffice-dictionaries should start building hyphen-{hr,pl,ru} (those hyphenations are already in the source), and the source packages dealt with in this bug should be dropped. Right Mattia? :)

For now I think it makes sense to fix the minimal install feature in 18.04 for those languages, so I have prepared debdiffs.

Gunnar, for Ubuntu's main flavor, I fixed this issue earlier today. I did not look at any of the other Ubuntu flavors though.

Ah, apparently I didn't know that. Hopefully we help some flavors by fixing this bug then.

Just discovered that I have permission to upload myspell-hr, so just did.

Nothing particularly new, the relevant Debian bugs are several years old...

I'm making src:lo-dicts take over src:myspell-hr's binaries as the maintainer there has been inactive for 9+ years….

For the others two the activies were a tad more recent, so could somebody please open some bugs proposing take over or something?

And I just sponsored openoffice.org-hyphenation-pl_3.0a-4ubuntu1_source.changes for Gunnar, so unsubscribing ~ubuntu-sponsors.

Thanks for sponsoring, Mattia!

openoffice.org-hyphenation-pl provides the very same file as resides in the lo-dicts source, and the package hasn't been touched in 7 years, so I'd vote for taking over that too. oo-hyphenation-pl serves no meaningful purpose.

The Russian case requires some investigation before doing anything, since Ubuntu currently converts the encoding from KOI8-R to UTF-8 as a result of bug #1107859. lo-dicts still has KOI8-R.
