Hi, Sven, > This should also affect Debian Emacs, only that if has an alternative way to > know the available dicts. And even in this case, those dicts will only be available with the names explicitly registered by the dict. I have been tracing how aspell looks for master .dat file and observed that it first looks in `dict-dir' and then in `data-dir'. With current Debian aspell, it looks in both in that order, just that other auxiliary .dat files (affix, phonet) must be in the same dir as the associated master file. So, seems that ispell.el is indeed buggy about this, should have looked in both locations, with precedence for `dict-dir'. I am cloning this bug report and reassigning the clone to dictionaries-common. I am working in some changes to make (ispell-aspell-find-dictionary) look in both locations. Still needs some test, but seems to work well. If no problems appear this will be uploaded soon. Regarding FSF Emacs repo, I will wait a bit. I want changes in Debian to be extensively tested first. Only after that and if Emacs 24.4 release gets delayed more and more I will try to have changes into it. Otherwise changes will go into trunk after relase, once tested. snapshots based on it will get the changes. Thanks for noticing this problem.
