+%description
+Provides the word list/dictionaries for Arabic.
+
+# Note that this package, like other aspell's language packs, does not come up
+# cleanly through rpmlint, but with the following errors:
+# E: aspell-ar no-binary
+# E: aspell-ar only-non-binary-in-usr-lib
+# This is because the package contains only data files which sit under /usr/lib.
+# They have to stay there, as they are architecture-dependent (due to
+# byte-ordering issues).
