Bug#979439: hunspell-it: Italian spell check cannot recognize simple words

[Alessio Paonessa <livmion@hotmail.com>]

Package: hunspell-it
Version: 1:7.1.0~rc1-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: livmion@hotmail.com

Dear Maintainer,

the Italian spell check is broken and cannot recognize common words like "di"
or "è" and other terms with apostrophe or accent.

It is possible to notice the problem simply copying the text of the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights in Italian and trying a spell check on it. It will
highlight in applications like LibreOffice or Gedit some part of the text even
if it is right.

Normally I should expect no mistake in the Declaration.

If I try to use aspell-it in Gedit, the terms are correctly checked. Also the
AppImage version of LibreOffice is not affected. My Debian version is Bullseye
freshly updated.

Thank you in advance,

Best Regards
