Package: stardict
Version: 3.0.1-7
Severity: grave
Tags: upstream security
Justification: user security hole

Any attempts to uncheck the box "Enable network dictionaries" is effective only 
until statrdict is closed and network dictionary is activated again after restart (the checkbox remains unchecked). Sometime it doesn't even work that far. I don't want all my searches to be sent to some server in China or elsewhere in the world.
