Package: dictionaries-common
Version: 1.5.11
Severity: serious

dictionaries-common distributes flyspell.el that breaks flyspell-mode
in emacs 23.1+1-5.  When I call `M-x flyspell-mode' in my Emacs, I
receive error message

  Enabling Flyspell mode gave an error

and flyspell mode doesn't work.  I have to load the original Emacs
flyspell.el to make flyspell-mode working again.

(IMHO dictionaries-common, serving as a base package for important
packages depending on them, shouldn't override standard Elisp files
without being requested to do so.  Its main purpose is different than
changing Emacs behavior and doing so should be disabled, and not
enabled, by default.  Changing Emacs behavior is extra functionality of
the package which should be enabled only when the user actually wants
it, especially when it's not for the first time when dictionaries-common
breaks spelling in Emacs and it's not straightforward to detect the
cause of the problem for the user.)

I mark this bug as release critical because it breaks an unrelated
package and it should be fixed before squeeze release.
