Thanks for the info, Bertrand.

What I mean by wordlists are not ispell dictionaries but packages like
wamerican, wfrench and similar packages, containing plain wordlists. 
wamerican is standard, so it is presumably in your system unless you 
explicitely decided to remove it.

According to your log, debconf seems to think there is no wordlist
installed, but I guess that is not true. Please look at /usr/share/dict 
contents and report installed wordlist contents there. 

If debconf database is correct, you can look for the list of installed
wordlists according to debconf by running

$ echo metaget shared/packages-wordlist owners | debconf-communicate

Besides a warning about /var/cache/debconf/passwords.dat, this should ine a
list like

0 wamerican, wbrazilian, wcatalan, wfaroese, wgalician-minimos, wngerman, 
wnorwegian, wportuguese, wspanish, wswiss

containing return code and a list of installed wordlists.

If above list is empty (just return code) and some wordlists are actually
installed, problem may be caused by the debconf database corruption I
mentioned in my other mail. If so, running /usr/share/debconf/fix_db.pl as 
root should refresh your debconf database, and make an option be offered 
when dictionaries-common is configured.

The only other reason I can think to cause this problem is a package having
explicitly unregistered shared/packages-wordlist question, but that is 
really unlikely.
