Description Morgan Leijström 2024-03-01 16:35:06 CET

Description of problem:

At start of indexing, a popup:

aspell : aspell dictionary creation command failed: /usr/bin/aspell --lang=sv --encoding=utf-8 create master /home/morgan/.recoll/aspdict.sv.rws One possible reason might be missing language data files for lang = sv. Maybe try to execute the command by hand for a better diag.


Actually the problem was that aspell was not installed at all...

I installed aspell (which also pulled in correct lang pack), and all was OK

So this is *not* same as Bug 26005


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
recoll-1.34.2-1.mga9

How reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
0. aspell not installed
1. install recoll
2. optionally adjust settings on what to index
3. start indexing


I think it is not worth an update on mga9, but add to trunk to be used next package revision.

Thank you for the report.
Yes, it is certain that recoll does not require aspell; nor is aspell required by recoll. To put right.

I think this should be corrected for M9 as well as Cauldron, it is so easy.
QA only need to test the dependencies:
 $ urpmq --requires-recursive recoll | grep aspell
 $ urpmq --whatrequires-recursive aspell | grep recoll
which currently return nothing, but should then return each other.

Assigning to DavidG who Dec 19 2023:
- fix dependencies
Was it this one? Cauldron only, not M9?
