NAME
       update-default-ispell - update default ispell dictionary

SYNOPSIS
        update-default-ispell [--skip-symlinks] [--triggered]

DESCRIPTION
       WARNING: Not to be used from the command line unless you know very well
       what you are doing.

       This program is intended to be called from ispell dictionary package
       postinst, from select-default-ispell or from dictionaries-common
       postinst.

       When called under dpkg control with the --trigger option the script is
       run normally, otherwise the dictionaries-common update-default-ispell
       trigger is enabled for later run.

       With the --skip-symlinks option the symlinks setting is skipped.  This
       is needed for update-default-ispell when called from dictionaries-
       common postinst, since autobuilt hashes may not yet be available.

       When run normally (from the command line or with --trigger) this script
       rebuilds the info at /var/cache/dictionaries-common/ispell.db after
       files under /var/lib/dictionaries-common/ispell, reads the system
       default from the debconf database and unless disabled, set default
       symlinks in /etc/dictionaries-common pointing to the appropriate files
       in /usr/lib/ispell/.

       For ispell this script also updates the system-wide setting
       /etc/dictionaries-common/ispell-default and the emacsen, jed, and
       SquirrelMail support after known info.

OPTIONS
        --skip-symlinks  Do not try to set symlinks at /etc/dictionaries-common dir.
        --triggered      Run all the code instead of trying to enable
                         update-default-ispell trigger
