I am running Ubuntu 11.10 i386. I had faced the same problem when I had accidentally deleted /etc/emacs/site-start.d/00debian-vars.el. I tried installing emacs23 instead of emacs-snapshot, but it dint work. I tried installing dictionary-el package as @liuxhang1201 suggested, but even that dint work.
I took a copy of the 00debian-vars.el file from my friend's system (running the same OS) and copied it to /etc/emacs/site-start.d and then tried installing emacs-snapshot, everything works fine now.
I am attaching the 00debian-vars.el file just in case somebody needs it.
