Description Stéphane Pontier 2022-07-04 08:27:04 CEST 
the file /usr/share/dict/french from wfrench package is empty, probablely because the upstream package changed.

the wfrench.spec execute a perl oneliner to convert caracters from a 'dict' file but this one in not present in the wfrench_1.2.7.orig.tar.gz file.
Moreover, when I fixed the script replacing 'dict' with 'french' I saw that the script dont modify in any way the dictionary file, maybe this step is not useful anymore.

As this is really annoying, I also pushed an update for mga8 in updates_testing. Please move it to updates ASAP. (let me know if I need to assign it to another team than QA)

We need a list of packages (rpm and srpm)  and advisory (what's changed) for the
update.

Security and bugfix updates are handled the same way. Security updates just
get a higher priority in testing, and slightly different advisory formats.

$ urpmq --whatrequires wfrench
wfrench

How do we test it other then view the file in an editor?
Comment 6 Bruno Cornec 2022-07-06 02:10:35 CEST 
For mga8:
wfrench-1.2.6-2.mga8.noarch.rpm
wfrench-1.2.6-2.mga8.src.rpm

Advisory:

Fix the french dictionay which was created empty.

Test:

install util-linux and wfrench
use look -a avoir which should answer
avoir
avoirdupoids
avoirs

Even if the second answer looks strange to me :-)

Hummm, seems my very old setup has the right link for this to work. 
I'll have to fix the package. Meanwhile you can make as root:

ln -sf /usr/share/dict/french /usr/share/dict/web2

to solve that.
Comment 8 Dave Hodgins 2022-07-06 03:10:38 CEST 
# rpm -q wfrench
wfrench-1.2.6-2.mga8
# rpm -q --scripts wfrench
postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
ln -sf /usr/share/dict/french /usr/share/dict/web2

so manually running the ln command is not needed. Installed the release
version, then the update over it. The look -a is working.

Validating the update. Advisory committed to svn.
