Package: dictionaries-common
Version: 0.90.0
Severity: normal

As far as I can work out, dictionaries-common owns the symlinks in
/usr/share/xemacs21/site-lisp/dictionaries-common/ to flyspell.el etc.

This links to a emacs version from 2007 that is unfortunately not
completely compatible with xemacs.  If I blast those links and the
.elc files away, xemacs uses its own version from 2002, in 
/usr/share/xemacs21/xemacs-packages/lisp/text-modes/flyspell.elc
from the xemacs21-basesupport package.

The symptoms of the incompatibility that I see are that flyspell-mode
is no longer a minor mode.  If I invoke M-x flyspell-mode, it invokes
it for all buffers (including programs and shell scripts that are
pointless to spell check, and flyspell-mode ends up invoking bogus
font-locking on keywords).  It even invokes it for commands and
filenames I enter in the modeline.

Please either remove the symlinks, or make this version work in
xemacs, and get the xemacs21-basesupport maintainer to remove their
version of flyspell.
