If there is no English language available at all, it seems to not be
necessary. *sigh* I doubt SuSE will drop English support. ;)  See below.

Well, maybe that's it?

IIRC the aspell package of SuSE already contains one language package
(which is not the case with any other distro). The mix of language
packages from different SuSE versions might be the culprit. Even more,
as you now maybe got two English language packs...

Can anyone else running SuSE 9.3 with a working spell checker please
post the installed packages?

$ rpm -qa | grep spell | sort
