Is a wamerican/languages entry present there?
Forgot to mention that knowing the list of wordlists you have installed at your site is also of help, so I can try reproducing the problem in a similar environment. Please also check that there is a consistent wamerican/languages entry in /var/cache/debconf/templates.dat, as well as similar entries for the other wordlists. There should also be a shared/packages-wordlist entry in both /var/cache/debconf/templates.dat and /var/cache/debconf/config.dat, this last having as owners the list of installed wordlists. If something of this fails, this may be related to debconf database corruption (this sometimes happens for nearly full /var partitions, but is unclear exactly why). In case of possible debconf database corruption, please look at /usr/share/doc/dictionaries-common/README.problems for more details about this and let me know. -- Agustin
