Description of problem: The switchspell plugin in purple-plugin_pack reads its list of dictionaries from aspell. This is broken, because gtkspell in Rawhide is using enchant, not aspell. While this specfile change: http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/rpms/purple-plugin_pack/devel/purple-plugin_pack.spec?r1=1.2&r2=1.3 (which adds a BR aspell-devel) gets the plugin to build, it is still doing the wrong thing. Instead, the plugin needs to be patched to obtain its list of dictionaries from enchant instead. Michael Schwendt fixed a similar issue in sylpheed with this patch: http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/rpms/sylpheed/devel/sylpheed-2.4.8-enchant.patch?rev=1.2&view=markup Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): purple-plugin_pack-2.2.0-3.fc9 Additional info: See also http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FeatureDictionary

Here's a first-try patch. I've asked the Abiword people if it looks sane (since I know next-to-nothing about enchant) but no response yet. http://ivazquez.fedorapeople.org/files/purple-plugin_pack-2.2.0-switchspell-enchant.patch
Dom says it looks fine, so...
