You have to remove the byte-compiled *.elc files too.  Updating bug
description.

** Description changed:

  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.
  
+ 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.
