[Bug 666204] Re: Please backport dictionaries-common 1.5.15 to Maverick

[era]

** Description changed:

  Getting a fix for bug #619015 into maverick-backports would be valuable
  for Emacs users who use flyspell.
  
- A version for Natty which includes the fix was merged in bug #660357.
+ A version for Natty which includes the fix (1.5.15) was merged in bug
+ #660357.
  
  Thanks for considering this!
+ 
+ Alternatively, you could merge upstream 1.5.12 which contains only the
+ fix for bug #619015.

- A version for Natty which includes the fix (1.5.15) was merged in bug
- #660357.
+ Rationale:
+  * The flyspell error is hard to diagnose and debug; many users who enable flyspell in their .emacs will have no way to fix this on their own, and might have trouble starting up Emacs on text files (sic!)
+  * This is a regression introduced by version skew between emacs and dictionaries-common; they should have been kept in sync, especially for an LTS release
+ 
+ A version for Natty which includes the fix (upstream 1.5.15) was merged

+ 
+ Alternatively, you could merge upstream 1.5.12, which contains only the
+ fix for bug #619015, relative to the version currently in Maverick
+ (1.5.1).
