When service dictd condreload is available (see #1704), i think, it should be used instead of condrestart command in the install-time scripts of the package. --- dict-jargon-4.3.1-alt1 ---
fixed in dict-jargon-4.3.1-alt2
For smoother update, we need to require that the version of dictd with condreload support is installed when %post and %postun are executed. Thus: PreReq: dictd >= 1.9.1-alt1 (according to #0001704) or: Requires(post,postun): dictd >= 1.9.1-alt1 (the last variant is not tested to work well for APT). This applies to dict-eng-deu-0.2-alt2, dict-deu-eng-0.2-alt2, dict-jargon-4.3.1-alt2, dict-engcom-0.4-alt3, dict-web1913-1.4_0.47pd-ipl5, dict-mueller7-utf8-1.2-alt3. Here is an example of a broken update because of the wrong order: # rpm -qa \'dict*\' dict-tools-1.8.0-alt1 dict-jargon-4.3.1-alt1 dictd-1.8.0-alt1 dict-engcom-0.4-alt2 dict-deu-eng-0.2-alt1 dict-1.8.0-alt1 dict-eng-deu-0.2-alt1 dict-web1913-1.4_0.47pd-ipl4 dict-mueller7-utf8-1.2-alt2 # apt-get install dict-eng-deu Reading Package Lists...

I think it's de facto fixed: ALM2.2 already had dictd-1.9.1-alt2, and rebuild was required anyways (initscript migration). If someone is pedantic enough, feel free to actlayy fix this.
