[R-pkg-team] Bug#1028130: r-cran-hunspell: please don't use internal en_US and en_GB dictionaries

[Andreas Tille]

Control: tags -1 help

I pushed some changes to git[1] that should fix this bug.

Unfortunately the package does not build any more (even without my
changes)[2] due to

Error: package or namespace load failed for 'hunspell' in dyn.load(file, DLLpath = DLLpath, ...):
 unable to load shared object '/builds/r-pkg-team/r-cran-hunspell/debian/output/source_dir/debian/r-cran-hunspell/usr/lib/R/site-library/00LOCK-source_dir/00new/hunspell/libs/hunspell.so':
  /builds/r-pkg-team/r-cran-hunspell/debian/output/source_dir/debian/r-cran-hunspell/usr/lib/R/site-library/00LOCK-source_dir/00new/hunspell/libs/hunspell.so: undefined symbol: _Z6u8_u16RSt6vectorI6w_charSaIS0_EERKNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEEb
Error: loading failed
Execution halted

I checked inside the pbuilder environment

 # R CMD INSTALL -l /build/r-cran-hunspell-3.0.2\+dfsg2/debian/r-cran-hunspell/usr/lib/R/site-library  .
 # strings src/hunspell.so | grep _Z6u8_u16RSt6vectorI6w_charSaIS0_EERKNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEEb                                                   
 _Z6u8_u16RSt6vectorI6w_charSaIS0_EERKNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEEb
 _Z6u8_u16RSt6vectorI6w_charSaIS0_EERKNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEEb
 _Z6u8_u16RSt6vectorI6w_charSaIS0_EERKNSt7__cxx1112basic_stringIcSt11char_traitsIcESaIcEEEb

so that symbol exists.  I have no idea how to proceed from here.

Any help would be welcome
    Andreas.
