I have dl some more stuff, because I use them, but I don't recall that any of it should have had anything to do with the spell checker. > I would: > a) # aptitude update > # aptitude full-upgrade What will this full upgrade do, to Jessie? If it is still wheezy, I am uptodate as of 4 hours ago, but I generally use synaptic. Because I am a LinuxCNC user, there are added lines in my sources.list: gene@coyote:/etc/init.d$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy main contrib non-free deb-src http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy main contrib non-free deb http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy-updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy-updates main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main contrib non-free deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-r14.0.0/debian wheezy main deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ wheezy contrib main updates deb http://ppa.quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net/trinity/trinity-builddeps-r14.0.0/debian wheezy main And separately in sources.list.d, a linuxcnc.list gene@coyote:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ cat linuxcnc.list deb http://linuxcnc.org/ wheezy 2.7-uspace base 2.6 deb-src http://linuxcnc.org/ wheezy 2.7-uspace base 2.6 deb http://buildbot.linuxcnc.org/ wheezy master-rt deb-src http://buildbot.linuxcnc.org/ wheezy master-rt deb http://buildbot.linuxcnc.org/ wheezy 2.6-rt deb-src http://buildbot.linuxcnc.org/ wheezy 2.6-rt > b) If that didn't fix it, I would create a new user, set up KMail > *minimally* (as near vanilla as possible) in the new user, see if the > problems are still there. > > c) uninstall whatever you last installed. libgtkspell0_2.0.16-1_i386.deb libhunspell-dev_1.3.2-4_i386.deb both have now been purged again, but I expect I'd have to logout and back in to see if its fixed. libhunspell seems to have a long list of stuff that would have to come out with it, looking like it would demolish the system.
