Hi, thanks for the info.

ispell-autobuildhash is from dictionaries-common package, reassigning.

There is nothing in ispell-autobuildhash explicitly setting GZIP environment
variable. Seems that your system still has an obsolete GZIP setting and that
gzip error message is related to your local settings rather than to the
Debian package.

# echo $GZIP

# apt install --reinstall iamerican ibritish
...
Setting up iamerican (3.4.00-6) ...
Setting up ibritish (3.4.00-6) ..

No error messages. However, if I explicitly set GZIP message appears

# export GZIP=-9
# apt install --reinstall iamerican ibritish
...
ispell-autobuildhash: Processing 'american' dict.
gzip: warning: GZIP environment variable is deprecated; use an alias or script
ispell-autobuildhash: Processing 'british' dict.
gzip: warning: GZIP environment variable is deprecated; use an alias or script

I will close this bug reported unless convinced that there is something
ispell-autobuildhash can do about this.

Regards,
