 +<​file>​
 +Noticed bug/issue with spell, e.g.:
 +$ echo foo | spell
 +/​usr/​bin/​ispell:​ Illegal format hash table
 +Tried:
 +# (cd / && umask 022 && dpkg-reconfigure spell)
 +# (cd / && umask 022 && dpkg-reconfigure dictionaries-common)
 +# (cd / && umask 022 && dpkg-reconfigure ispell)
 +Those didn't correct it, but this did:
 +# (cd / && umask 022 && dpkg-reconfigure iamerican)
 +That updated:
 +/​var/​lib/​ispell/​american.hash
 +Guessing this may have been issue left over from i386 to amd64 conversion
