Dear Maintainer,

This dictionary creates two entries:
1. Deutsch (Deutschland, frami)
2. Deutsch (Deutschland)

If the two entries are identical, please combine them to create one dictionary
entry.

No.

 From reportbug:

2 minor           things like spelling mistakes and other minor cosmetic errors that do not affect the core functionality of the package.
3 normal          a bug that does not undermine the usability of the whole package; for example, a problem with a particular option or menu item.

This clearly falls into 2 -> minor. It's only cosmetic.
No, it doesn't create anything.

Those entries you see directly result from the .dic file names *when LibreOffice sees stuff in /usr/share/hunspell*.

Actually I am surprised that it recognizes de_DE_frami without the de_DE compat symlink..

Maybe the compat symlink should be removed then.


*Maybe*.

Because I am quite sure that other stuff will *NOT* recognize it withot _frami. Which would break then.

And hunspell is not used in LibreOffice oly, ut the _exact same_ dictionary used in Firefox, Thunderbird, ...


=> wontfix


(Actually I personally think the frami thingy shouldn't exist at all, I just packaged it for completeness....)

Hmm.
Just tried it. Stables Thunderbird shows "Deutsch (Deutschland, frami)", too. As does firefox. (After removing the compat symlinks as the only option.)

Will think about it..

It's not very consistent.

Firefox and Thunderbird show two entries:
1. Deutsch (Deutschland, frami)
2. Deutsch (Deutschland)

Evolution shows three entries (without "frami"):
1. Deutsch
2. Deutsch (Deutschland)
3. Deutsch (Deutschland)
Either 2. or 3. is the "frami" one.

Doesn't really matter here. You seem to compare different spellchecking engines:
Firefox and Thunderbird use hunspell. And only hunspell.

Description-en: Wrapper library for various spell checker engines (runtime libs)
  Enchant is a generic spell checking library which uses existing
  spell checker engines such as ispell, aspell and myspell as its backends.
  .
  Enchant steps in to provide uniformity and conformity on top of these
  libraries, and implement certain features that may be lacking in any
  individual provider library.
  .
  This package contains the shared library and non-Voikko enchant plugins.

So I believe one of those 2./3. is either an ispell or an aspell dictionary.

Betreff: Re: Bug#1124119: hunspell-de-de-frami: instead of creating two
entries, create one dictionary entry for 'frami'
Datum: 28.12.2025 15:17:07

Hi Rene,

I removed all the ispell (ispell, ingerman, iswiss) and aspell (aspell,
aspell-de) dictionaries. However, entries 2. and 3. are still present in
Evolution, suggesting that they both originate from hunspell.

Best,
Amr
