When the package is installed for the first time, a running dictd is not forced to reload its configuration. Thus the new dictionary isn\'t visible. (This is a concern of the postinstall script.) When the package is removed, the dictionary should be checked out. The reconfiguratuion of dictd should be done postunsinstall script, since that\'s the moment when the files have actually been removed. The \'condreload\' command is preferrable here over \'conrestart\' (see #1704). --- $ apt-get install dict-deu-eng $ dict Wasser # it is not found at localhost --- dict-deu-eng-0.2-alt1
The same applies to: dict-engcom-0.4-alt1, dict-mueller7-utf8-1.2-alt2, dict-eng-deu-0.2-alt1.
fixed in dict-eng-deu-0.2-alt2
