Bug#638286: texmaker preconfigured dictionary file does not exist

[Jonas Brandes]

Package: texmaker
Version: 1.9.9-2
Severity: normal


Upon first launch, texmaker searches for the dictionary file under /usr/share/texmaker/ and expects to find en_GB.dic there. However the file does not exist there, rendering spellchecker inoperative unless the user manually changes the settings to link to an existing dictionary file.
