Confirming. The package has also lost the mozvoikko dependency. Please also re-add it or there is no spell-checking in Firefox.

Dependencies should be same as in Jaunty:
Depends: tmispell-voikko, libenchant-voikko, openoffice.org-voikko, voikko-fi, mozvoikko

Changed in language-support-writing-fi (Ubuntu):

This is not a bug. This is a feature. Starting with Karmic, it gets installed by the language selection tool (Järjestelmä->Ylläpito->Kieliasetukset), rather than as a dependency of the language-support-writing-fi metapackage. This is to avoid pulling Firefox and OOo on systems where it is not desired. See bug #409764 for the rationale.

Reopening. After installing fresh karmic from daily live cd, openoffice.org-voikko or mozvoikko are not installed. It is not acceptable to require the user to launch language-selector to get those installed.

I did not understand the rationale in #409764 completely, ie. the part why Recommends was not used (Recommends are installed by default, which would solve the problem), but they were moved to language-selector.

So this bug should be refactored to point out where the problem is - is language-selector somehow involved in the installation process? Or is it installer's problem now, or should the #409764 change be reverted since losing critical features is more bad than having too tight dependencies (especially if the dependencies are not really too tight if using Recommends)?
