XEmacs: Symbol's value as variable is void: translation-table-for-input

This actually involves the dictionaries-common package. Sameer just beat me to the report :)

Using Ubuntu Hardy 8.04, I get a message involving the phrase "translation-table-for-input", causing the spell check to stop after the first correction.

How to reproduce:
1. open `xemacs`
2. type the following into the buffer: "eror spelling eror"
3. Go to Cmnds->Spell Check
4. The spell checker will find the first "eror", and offer suggestions to fix it. go ahead and do so.
5. Notice the message at the bottom.

How to fix:
1. The patch has been submitted to debian, and is applied on the intrepid package. Installing the dictionaries-common .deb package from intrepid fixes the problem.

Oh, cool. I upgraded dictionaries-common and it works now. Actually I downloaded a deb from the Ubuntu archives with a version greater than the one I had installed. dpkg installed it without errors, but assuming that this is the package actually meant for Intrepid. Will it be made available as a Hardy update or something?

Using Ubuntu 9.10 (where the fix seems to be installed), the fix leads to a new bug:

This time the errormessage is: "Symbol's function definition is void: with-no-warnings"

How to reproduce: See #1 above.

Fixed in upstream dictionaries-common/0.90.1
