Hi, Mattia,

Seems to break a not recent enough version of the package

Package: hunspell-en-gb
Breaks: myspell-en-gb (<= 1:3.3.0~rc10-4)

But apt-cache policy myspell-en-gb shows 1:3.3.0-4 as previous version. As a
result, hunspell-en-gb may be (and is) unpacked before myspell-en-gb.

Preparing to unpack .../hunspell-en-gb_1%3a5.0.1+dfsg-3_all.deb ...

Same may apply to other breaks/replaces from the same version (all but
hunspell-sl),

Regards,
