Bug Description
Getting a fix for bug #619015 into maverick-backports would be valuable for Emacs users who use flyspell.
Rationale:
* The flyspell error is hard to diagnose and debug; many users who enable flyspell in their .emacs will have no way to fix this on their own, and might have trouble starting up Emacs on text files (sic!)
* This is a regression introduced by version skew between emacs and dictionaries-
A version for Natty which includes the fix (upstream 1.5.15) was merged in bug #660357.
Alternatively, you could merge upstream 1.5.12, which contains only the fix for bug #619015, relative to the version currently in Maverick (1.5.1).
Thanks for considering this!

Upon closer reading of -backports instructions, I am unsure whether this is eligible for a backport. Hence I am also attempting to get an SRU for Maverick, in bug #619015. Apologies if this is wasteful.
