2010-10-12 09:06:27 era description Binary package hint: dictionaries-common Please remove the following files from dictionaries-common: /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/dictionaries-common/debian-ispell.el /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/dictionaries-common/flyspell.el /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/dictionaries-common/ispell.el They are already provided with the emacs packages (emacs23-common and emacs-snapshot-common) and the versions provided with dictionaries-common are currently incompatible with the ones that are included in the emacs23-package: When these files are installed any attempt to enable on-the-fly spell checking e.G. by M-x flyspell-mode will result in a generic error message: Enabling flyspell-mode gave an error. No debug info. And even if debug-on-error is set the error message is generated without setting any trigger for the debugger. Took me 2 hours to track this error down. After removing the files spell checking while typing in emacs works fine again.

WORKAROUND: to fix this in a live system, remove the byte-compiled .elc files for your emacs flavor, too. For example, if you use emacs23; cd /usr/share/emacs23/site-lisp/dictionaries-common sudo rm *.el *.elc After removing the files spell checking while typing in emacs works fine again.

The root cause was a change in the Emacs Lisp syntax which breaks older versions of dictionaries-common. TEST CASE: start Emacs, type Esc x flyspell-mode <ret> or equivalently enable Flyspell from Customize or the menu. Failure scenario: an error message "Enabling flyspell-mode gave an error." (sic) Success scenario: "Starting new ispell process ..." A minimal patch is attached to this bug. Upgrading dictionaries-common to upstream 1.5.12 should be equivalent. Natty now ships 1.5.15 (bug #660367). Maverick has 1.5.11. The fix in 1.5.12 should be compatible with older Emacs versions; emacs22 (and to a limited extent xemacs21) should continue to work, while this fixes flyspell for emacs23 and emacs-snapshot users. --- Previous version of Bug Description: --- Please remove the following files from dictionaries-common: /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/dictionaries-common/debian-ispell.el /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/dictionaries-common/flyspell.el /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/dictionaries-common/ispell.el They are already provided with the emacs packages (emacs23-common and emacs-snapshot-common) and the versions provided with dictionaries-common are currently incompatible with the ones that are included in the emacs23-package: When these files are installed any attempt to enable on-the-fly spell checking e.G. by M-x flyspell-mode will result in a generic error message: Enabling flyspell-mode gave an error.
