Ah-Ha!

root@BAPhD:/home/bra# ll /usr/sbin/dict*
ls: /usr/sbin/dict*: No such file or directory

root@BAPhD:/home/bra# ll /usr/sbin/*config
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           14 Jun 16 
19:31 /usr/sbin/apacheconfig -> apache-modconf
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root          835 Jan 22 
07:34 /usr/sbin/cupsconfig
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root         2121 Feb 25 
15:53 /usr/sbin/fdutilsconfig
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root         6161 Feb 11  and so on (in 
alphabetical order)

I also searched throughout /usr and /etc - still no dictdconfig.

Looks like this could be REAL helpful!  :-)
