Thanks for the info,

This is a bug in myspell-el-gr, which seems to unconditionally add
update-openoffice-dicts call to maintainer scripts, without first checking
for availability. myspell-el-gr maintainer, just drop that snippets, they
are no longer needed at all even for squeeze.

dictionaries-common does not set a break on former myspell-el-gr because
when this transition started myspell-el-gr (0.7-1) was current version and
did not call update-openoffice-dicts from maintainer scripts in any way.
I am adding this break now.

I will wait for fixed myspell-el-gr before uploading new
dictionaries-common-dev breaking older myspell-el-gr (otherwise all
previously installed myspell-el-gr will become incompatible). Please let
me know when fixed myspell-el-gr upload happens. If you are busy now I can
prepare a NMU on your behalf.

Regards,

Agustin
