Dict00o.swx (Sarge) issue + workaround

[jbarre <jbarre@biarritx.dyndns.org>]

Issue: Dict00.swx (Sarge)

DicOOo does not import or upgrade the myspell dictionnaries at the right 
place.

First read http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=268238 and 
create the missing link.

The spellcheck is working fine but DicOOo puts the files into 
'/usr/lib/openoffice/$(inst)/share/dict/ooo/'

Workaround:

1. Open /usr/share/myspell/dicts/Dict00o.sww with oowriter.

# oowriter /usr/share/myspell/dicts/Dict00o.sww

2. Import a small dic (ex: Zulu Africa).

DicOOo saves the files into 
'/usr/lib/openoffice/$(inst)/share/dict/ooo/'. :-(

3. Remove the /ooo dir created by DictOOo.

# rm -r -f '/usr/lib/openoffice/$(inst)/share/dict/ooo'

4. Make a symbolic link to the myspell folder.

# ln -s /usr/share/myspell/dicts/ 
'/usr/lib/openoffice/$(inst)/share/dict/ooo'

5. Install or upgrade the dictionnaries you want to use using Dict00o

Now, it works correctly.

NB: Don't foget to quote (') the path that containts the $ sign 
('/usr/lib/openoffice/$(inst)/share/dict/ooo/') or use a file manager 
(ex: mc).

Remark: This issue does not seems to be Debian Sarge related. I have the 
same kind of probleme with another distribution (MDK 10) (Dict00o 
imports the files into '/usr/lib/openoffice/file:/share/dict/ooo'. I am 
in touch with the DictOOo developper (we are both french) to try to fix 
this issue - Any ideas ???
