It appears that when one loads aspell via the GUI interface to yum, there is no requirement to load an actual dictionary. Thus, when I invoked aspell (as well as the ispell interface to aspell), it generated: Error: No word lists can be found for the language "en_US". However, by manually selecting English dictionaries for aspell from the add/remove software GUI yum interface, the problem was corrected. Thus, a better approach -- perhaps beyond what TUV does -- is to force the installation of at least one such dictionary when aspell is being installed. This selection might be made semi-automatically depending upon the keyboard language selection that was made during the installation of EL.
