> I experienced some problem with CocoAspell after migrating to my
> Intel Macbook and thought some people here might find the solution
> useful:
>
> I had migrated from an iBook via Apple's migration assistant, so I
> had an old PPC version of CocoAspell on the system which did not work
> any more.
> But it turned out that I was unable to update to the Intel version
> using the installer:
> The installer updated the English language files, but the GNU Aspell
> and the Spelling packages were greyed out.
>
> In the end I was able to solve the problem by removing the receipt
> files from the old installers (which had been migrated by the
> migration tool as well) -- afterwards the installer worked fine, and
> cocoAspell works great again now.
