#14893: Spellcheck install fails and cannot be installed manually because link to
dictionaries is bad
---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
Reporter:  foxmajik  |        Type:  defect      
  Status:  new       |   Component:  pidgin (gtk)
 Version:  2.10.1    |    Keywords:              
---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
 When installing Pidgin and selecting the US English dictionary an error is
 presented:

 "Error installing spellchecking [URL here]"

 The instructions provide a link to the Wiki (which is not selectable and
 has to be typed in manually to the browser, boo) that goes to a wiki page
 which recommends installing the OpenOffice US English dictionary. However
 the link is bad since OpenOffice no longer offers executable installers
 for their dictionaries -- they only offer proprietary oxt extensions which
 are not installable.
