[Bug 1422154] [NEW] FLAVOR/site-lisp files not set up right unless dictionaries-common installed after emacs

 

Public bug reported:

(Not sure if this problem should belong to the emacs or common-
dictionaries package)

If dictionaries-common is installed before emacs (which is the case in a
standard Trusty desktop install), then  /usr/share/FLAVOR/site-lisp
/dictionaries-common/ never gets created and the files ispell.el,
debian-ispell.el, and flyspell.el never get copied from
/usr/share/emacs/...etc

Can quickly be fixed by changing /etc/emacs/site-lisp/50dictionaries-
common.el to search for the ispell/flyspell libraries in the unflavored
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp, but I don't know if that has repercussions.

This bug manifests itself during boot up of emacs, there is a message
about debian-aspell-only-dictionary-alist value as variable being void.

Thanks,
Sanjay
