[Pkg-lyx-devel] Bug#265030: lyx-qt: Ispell for British English not working in Lyx

[Chris Lale]

Package: lyx-qt
Version: 1.4.2-4
Followup-For: Bug #265030

This bug was reported to have been fixed in version 1.4.1, but occurs 
again in version 1.4.2-4. Attempting to use Ispell from within LyX (eg 
F7) results in this error:

	The spellchecker could not be started
	Can't open /usr/lib/ispell/english.hash

/usr/lib/ispell/english.hash does not exist, but 
/usr/lib/ispell/british.hash does exist. Creating a symlink 
/usr/lib/ispell/english.hash to /usr/lib/ispell/british.hash solves the 
problem.
