You were correct. It only removed python-gtkspell.  Thanks.

I did.  Weird stuff.  It removed cherrytree?! And installed ibritish and 
then brought up a config dialogue to have me select (screenshot 1) And 
it suggested iamerican at the same time it was removing it (bold)

Still Spanish interface. And though the only option I have is English 
(American) it's still not ticked, and I have to tick it each time I 
close and open Zim (phoneshot 1)  As you can see from phoneshot2, 
"suggestions" and "dictionaries" are in Spanish, but all suggestions are 
in English, with "add to dictionary" and "ignore" also in Spanish at the 
bottom. Easy enough to use as long as the actual dictionary is English. 
(BTW, the misspelled word is Sprin when I meant Spring.

I reinstalled CherryTree, and it had no other dependencies, so I don't 
know what that was about.

Sorry for the file sizes.  Only way to get pictures with menus open.
