Description of Problem: When spellchecking norwegian texts, errors are reported for many correctly spelled words, even ones that are very common. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): aspell-no-0.2-1 or aspell-no-0.2-3 How Reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. aspell --language-tag=no -H check aspell-no.txt (see attachment.) Actual Results: Several words reported as misspelled, including common ones like "fra" (meaning "from") and "fulgt" (meaning "followed") Expected Results: No errors; this text is taken from the web pages of Norsk Sprekred (The Norwegian Language Council), so I'm assuming the spelling is correct. Additional Information:

Sprakradet is the entity okaying "poebb", "roesj" and "soervis", so take whatever comes from them with a big grain of salt. That said, I've added the missing words to aspell-no-0.2-4.
The problem is that plenty of other words are missing, too. The point is really that some of these are so common that I refuse to believe that they were left out from the original wordlist. In other words, I believe there is *something* wrong with the way the package is built, so adding some more words is not a proper solution to the problem.

I think the following test is quite interesting: mv .aspell.norwegian.pws aspell.txt aspell --language-tag=no list < aspell.txt This normally lists the complete contents of the wordlist, of course, but if I do rpm -Uvh /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/aspell-no-0.1-8.i386.rpm --force whith Red Hat 7.0 Disc 2 inserted, then repeat, all I get is % aspell --language-tag=no list < aspell.txt ws norwegian C8lsmak hipt sC%fall navnekonvensjonen C8yhopping oj masing induksjons In other words, most of the words missing in the Red Hat 7.1 and current Raw Hide versions of aspell-no were actually there in the Red Hat 7.0 release.
aspell-no-0.3-1 should have this, and more
