Package: emacs24
Version: 24.3+1-2+b1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
Newly install debian system, upgraded from stable branch to testing.
When start emacs24, it shows error message: "Error while loading
50dictionaries-common: Symbol's value as variable is void:
debian-aspell-only-dictionary-alist".
I found the file caused this error
"/var/cache/dictionaries-common/emacsen-ispell-dicts.el".
It seems the variables(debian-aspell-only-dictionary-alist,
debian-ispell-only-dictionary-alist) required in this file were not
defined.
Tried commentting all the code in this file, emacs24 started ok.
