Hi, thanks for the info,

This is a duplicate of #968955, so I am merging both bug reports.

This is due to a change in Emacs ispell.el introduced in

https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/lisp/textmodes/ispell.el?id=97b78542f60d1079a8407da5e1974d064951fb3d

to remove some ancient compatibility stuff.

I am on it, expect a new package soon to test with experimental.

Regards,

Bug#969032: dictionaries-common: doesn't work with emacs 27.1 - "variable is void: ispell-menu-map-needed"

[Philip Rinn]

Package: dictionaries-common
Version: 1.28.2
Severity: normal

Hi,

using emacs 27.1 from experimental I get on startup:


Error enabling Flyspell mode:
(ispell-menu-map-needed)
debian-ispell-set-startup-menu: Symbol’s value as variable is void: ispell-
menu-map-needed

and when I try to activate any mode using Flyspell I get

Error enabling Flyspell mode:
(ispell-menu-map-needed)
File mode specification error: (void-variable ispell-menu-map-needed)


Best,
Philip
