[solved] Hebrew spell checker as dependency for enchant?

Hi, on a fresh installation I noticed that the only dictionary Evolution shows is for Hebrew.

$ pacman -Qs hebrew
local/hspell 1.1-2
    Hebrew spell-checker

I then tried to remove this but pacman says enchant needs it which is needed by a lot of packages:

checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: gedit: requires enchant
:: gtkhtml4: requires enchant
:: kdelibs: requires enchant
:: libwebkit3: requires enchant

I just ask myself why is a dictionary a depemdency for such a package?

To fix the problem of the Hebrew dictionary being the only one Evolution sees, you need to install any other dictionary. Typically you would want packages like aspell-[LANGUAGE]

Also regarding why enchant actually depends on hspell: http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/ … dcdb8dc519

Thanks for the link. I was just wondering that there's a dictionary of a not so often spoken language installed by default. Didn't seem so KISS for me ;b

If you want to remove the 'hspell' package, you can install 'enchant-pure' package from <https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/enchant-pure/> which provides 'enchant'.
