Recently, I spent some time trying to understand why Pidgin spell check
wasn't working. I'm primarily a KDE4 user, but pidgin has some plugins I
use. textproc/aspell is a dependency of the KDE stuff and it's pkg-descr
indicates it should be exactly what pidgin is looking for. Unfortunately
this not the case.
With a suggestion from marcus@, I installed textproc/en-aspell. This
worked to resolve the issue for me, however this is the pkg-descr for the
ports:
Aspell English dictionaries.
Note: if you have installed textproc/aspell, English dictionaries have
already
been installed; this port is only useful if you had previously
installed
textproc/aspell-without-dicten.
This state has left me confused. Can anyone explain what is going on here?
Is there something wrong with the structure of these ports?
