Hello, finally got to test the reported subissue in more detail: +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1464487 +++ Then I tried to check the function of the spell checker from within inkscape built like that: 1. select "Create and edit text objects (F8)" 2. enter some random text 3. go to main menu > Text > Check spelling 4. observe new embedded dialog just with one button active -- "Stop" 5. if you click on that button, you'll get a segfault But after reinstalling inkscape with original Fedora version using gtkspell, I got the same behavior, so I don't really think this would be a regression -- it's rather a pre-existing bug that should not block getting rid of dependency on now-orphaned package. --- Additional comment from Jan Pokorný on 2017-06-23 16:22:07 CEST --- Note when I run inkscape from terminal, I can observe > ** (inkscape:20386): WARNING **: Error: No word lists can be found for the language "en_US". prior to the crash. * * * So, I've discovered, a long-standing upstream bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/935823 Indeed, installing aspell-en will fix the issue. I was worried that the language for the dictionary is influenced with LANG environment variable, but discovered it's not true. Moreover, when for instance one installs just aspell-cs (or any other aspell-LANG where LANG != en) and select that language in the Inkscape properties as a primary language, the same crash happens regardless. Hence it seems safe to assume that just having aspell-en installed along with Inkscape should solve the problem (worst case the majority will still be covered). Thanks for considering!
