✨ UPDATE-...CE-DICTS(1) ✨

okay bestie, gather round 💖 this one lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation corner of the man-page universe, and it's literally just a lil helper script that wants to make your Bulgarian dictionary dreams come true. no cap.

🎀 NAME 🎀

update-bgoffice-dicts — the girl who automates updating your bgoffice dictionaries so you don't have to. she's giving personal assistant energy fr fr. 💅

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

update-bgoffice-dicts [option...]

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so here's the vibe: update-bgoffice-dicts handles the downloading and the updating of your bgoffice dictionaries, all on its own. iconic behaviour honestly. 👑

the way it works is:

  1. it uses debconf(7) to ask you which dictionaries you actually want to download — like, it asks, it doesn't assume, we love a script with consent ✨
  2. then it calls up bgoffice-dict-download(1) to go grab them 📥
  3. and finally it extracts the files into the right directory, so that bgoffice can actually find them when it goes looking 🫶
⚠️ heads up bestie, this is the important part: that last step — the extracting-into-the-right-place step — will fail unless update-bgoffice-dicts is run as root. like, root or nothing. no shortcuts. 💀

💜 OPTIONS 💜

  • --no-ask — okay so normally, debconf does the polite thing and won't re-ask you questions you've already seen before. but this script has that behaviour disabled by default, because honestly it's super useful to be able to change up your dictionary selection every time you run update-bgoffice-dicts. choices are a vibe. 🌈 but if you just wanna re-download and unpack the dictionaries based on a selection you already made earlier, then use this option and it'll skip the questioning and get straight to work. periodt. 💅
