/usr/share/dict/words missing?

[Owen Gunden]

Hi all,

I'm getting errors when trying to emerge ispell and bsd-games, and both of
them seem to be failing because /usr/share/dict/words is missing. I tried:

qpkg -f /usr/share/dict/words

but that didn't come up with anything at all.

Does anyone know what package this file comes from? Might it be a bug that
ispell and bsd-games don't depend on this package?

Cheers,
Owen

It's a part of system:

kambei root # emerge -p --emptytree system | grep miscfiles
[ebuild N ] sys-apps/miscfiles-1.3

Thanks, that _is_ helpful, but..

----------------
[***@warchicken]# grep ACCEPT_KEYWORDS /etc/make.conf
# would add '~x86' to ACCEPT_KEYWORDS to enable unstable/testing packages.
#ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~arch"


[***@warchicken]# emerge -p miscfiles

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild R ] sys-apps/miscfiles-1.3-r2
----------------

So I have a different version of miscfiles than you, even though I'm not
using ACCEPT_KEYWORDS.

Nonetheless, in /usr/portage/sys-apps/miscfiles/miscfiles-1.3-r2.ebuild we
have:

src_install() {
einstall || die

# Remove this, as it causes language clash in ispell
rm ${D}/usr/share/dict/words
dodoc GNU* NEWS ORIGIN README dict-README
}

Which makes me think there could be a bug here.

Cheers,
Owen
