Details

An updated words package that fixes two spelling bugs is now available.

The words file is a listing of English words for the /usr/share/dict
directory. Some programs use this database of words to check spelling.
Password checkers use it to look for bad passwords.

This package corrects the following typos:

* The words dictionary contained two misspelled words: "architecure" and
"flourescent". This updated package removes both mis-spellings. (Please
note: the correct spellings of each word -- "architecture" and
"fluorescent" -- were extant in the dictionary. This update simply removes
the misspellings.)

Users of words should upgrade to this updated package, which corrects these
typos.
