[Debian-arabic-packages] aspell-ar-large - request for help

[Lior Kaplan]

Hi Brian,

Since the last time we met, I've managed to be involved in a few aspell
word lists. This time I've encountered with a problem I can seems to solve.

We have two word lists for arabic, a small on (aspell-ar in debian) and
a large one (comes from aspell's site, would be aspell-ar-large in debian).

In order to have aspell-ar-large, we patch the makefile to produce files
with the different name, and we manually changed the content of other
files (*.alias, *.multi).

While installing the package I get this error:
aspell-autobuildhash: processing: ar-large [ar-large]
Error: The file "/usr/lib/aspell/l-ar.cset" can not be opened for reading.

This is when running aspell-autobuildhash (same error if I run it manually).

I couldn't figure why it's still requests this file instead of
"l-ar-large.cset".

Any hint or suggestion would be welcome. Thanks.
