Bug#317078: dict-freedict-deu-eng: missed header 00-database-utf8 in dict files



Package: dict-freedict-deu-eng
Version: 1.1-4
Severity: normal


An utf-8 dictionary should contain the 00-database-utf8 header inside
the dict. I found those lines in the original freedict dictionaries,

>From Dictd manpage:
   "[...] headers  "00-database-allchars" which tells dictd that
    non-alphanumeric characters may also be used for search, the  header
    "00-database-utf8" which   indicates  that  the  database  uses  utf8
    encoding,  and  the [...]"
