No problem. dictionaries-common used to ship {ispell,flyspell}.el also for
GNU Emacs, containing the most recent version patched to work with XEmacs
and older Emacs, but that is no longer true because of compatibility issues.

One possibility is to wait for Emacs 26 to be packaged. I think this change
was not pushed to the Emacs25 (master) branch. Installing Emacs from
upstream is an overkill and will become old at some time.
A temporary hack would be to add an entry to your .emacs file, something
like (if none is explicitly set)
;; ----------------------------
(setq ispell-local-dictionary-alist
(append ispell-local-dictionary-alist
'(
("castellano8"
"[[:alpha:]]"
"[^[:alpha:]]"
"[-]" t ("-d" "es_ES") nil utf-8)
)))
;; ---------------------------
adapted to your language. Do not forget to remove it once either hunspell or
Emacs are fixed.
