Description Robert Riches 2012-12-31 03:25:15 CET

Description of problem:
In emacs, ispell fails to add a word to a personal dictionary.  It gives a cryptic error message and aborts the operation.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
one...31:) rpm -qf /usr/bin/emacs-23.3
emacs-23.3-8.2.mga2
one...32:) rpm -qi emacs
Name        : emacs
Version     : 23.3
Release     : 8.2.mga2
Architecture: x86_64

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a text file with a spelling error in it.  I use this one:

this
is
a
test
of
a
problem
with
speeling
correction

2. Bring up emacs.  I use the "-nw" option, but that appears irrelevant.
3. Do M-x, then enter "ispell".
4. When the misspelled word is found, press 'i' to save the word to a personal dictionary.  Then, enter 'y' to save the file.  (The same symptom appears if you enter 'n'.)
5. Observe the cryptic error message: "Ispell misalignment: word `speeling' point 43; probably incompatible versions".

Looks like a valid and detailed bug report to me. Assigning to emacs maintainer.

This message is a reminder that Mageia 2 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately one month from now Mageia will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 2. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX (EOL) if it remains open with a Mageia 'version' of '2'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version prior to Mageia 2's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Mageia 2 is end of life.  If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

Mageia 2 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on ''22 November''. Mageia 2 is no
longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or
bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Mageia
please feel free to click on "Version" change it against that version of Mageia
and reopen this bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
