4.5. aspell-en
An updated aspell-en package that adds one enhancement is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
The aspell-en package provides the word list and dictionaries for the English language.
Enhancement
- BZ#562286
- Prior to this update, the default English dictionary contained profanity. With this update, the profanity is moved from the default dictionary to the "en-complete" dictionary. To run aspell with this dictionary, use the "-d" switch: "aspell -d en-complete".
All users of aspell-en are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which adds this enhancement.
