That could be an update in default package settings. Or a broken interoperability configuration on your side. Or... well, many possible reasons. The main question is how would you resolve it. You can disable spell checking, or install relevant dictionary, as suggested earlier. Regarding package dependencies, I think it's worth creating a fake package with short explanation of the implications of installing a software that include optional dependency on spell checker. -- WBR, Andrey Repin (anrdaemon AT freemail DOT ru) 08.11.2012, <05:27> Sorry for my terrible english... -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
