Every time I try to add a word with kasumi or kasumi -a, I get:

    Failed to register [word]

Looking up on strace reveals that it's failing when trying to open
~/.anthy/private_words_default .  I had the directory be automatically
created, but not the file.  Simply touching an empty file in this
location fixed the behaviour and allowed entries to be added at will.

I am using anthy via anthy-ibus on gnome, with Debian trixie versions of
everything.

Hi,

You may be aware that the kasumi project is dead upstream. For any existing
bugs, you are welcome to provide bugfixes as patches by yourself. Proper patches
may be included in Debian-packaged kasumi later.

Best,
Boyuan
