oops, sorry, my bad,  I had in mind that mga1 hunspell dictionaries 
already provided hunspell-dictionary.
so it can work, we will be able to require hunspell-dictionary to ensure 
that at least one hunspell dictionary "new generation" is installed.

and add Requires: hunspell-dictionary

when we know that a package needs a specific version of a library, we 
add it in the requires.
e.g. rpm -q --requires firefox |grep "sqlite\|nspr\|nss"
lib64sqlite3_0 >= 3.7.9
lib64nss3 >= 2:3.13.1
lib64nspr4 >= 2:4.8.9

by analogy, I think that we should ensure that the needed dictionary's 
package is installed.


PS: the directory /usr/share/hunspell is currently owned by no package
cf. urpmf "^/usr/share/hunspell$"
the best candidate is probably hunspell.

Luc
