Bug Description

This is on ubuntu intrepid, with aspell from the repos, version 0.60.6-1

the aspell package does not include a default /etc/aspell.conf (which is supposed to be there, as per the documentation). further, it does not include a default tex.conv, nor the mk-tex.conv.pl script to generate a default tex.conv.

is there any reason these were excluded from the aspell package?

hmm, correction: it's not because of missing tex.conv that tex command arguments don't get excluded. it's because for some reason aspell does not parse the contents of file /usr/lib/aspell/tex-filter.info, where all tex command config is stored. manually adding these at runtime with "--add-tex-command" works, but without it, that whole config file appears to be ignored.

never mind, the ignoring of /usr/lib/aspell/tex-filter.info was caused by me mucking up my /etc/aspell.conf. figured that out now.
