update-default-ispell [--skip-symlinks] [--triggered]
This program is intended to be called from ispell dictionary package postinst, from select-default-ispell or from dictionaries-common postinst.
When called under dpkg control with the --trigger option the script is run normally, otherwise the dictionaries-common update-default-ispell trigger is enabled for later run.
With the --skip-symlinks option the symlinks setting is skipped. This is needed for update-default-ispell when called from dictionaries-common postinst, since autobuilt hashes may not yet be available.
When run normally (from the command line or with --trigger) this script rebuilds the info at /var/cache/dictionaries-common/ispell.db after files under /var/lib/dictionaries-common/ispell, reads the system default from the debconf database and unless disabled, set default symlinks in /etc/dictionaries-common pointing to the appropriate files in /usr/lib/ispell/.
For ispell this script also updates the system-wide setting /etc/dictionaries-common/ispell-default and the emacsen, jed, and SquirrelMail support after known info.
--skip-symlinks Do not try to set symlinks at /etc/dictionaries-common dir.
--triggered Run all the code instead of trying to enable
update-default-ispell trigger
