Hi, Sébastien
I forgot that ispell.el is not loaded at startup but later on demand.
Try wrapping the code in eval-after-load (I might have missed a
parenthesis)
(eval-after-load "ispell"
(setq ispell-local-dictionary-alist
(append ispell-local-dictionary-alist
'(
("francais7"
"[[:alpha:]]"
"[^[:alpha:]]"
"[-]" t ("-d" "fr_FR") nil utf-8)
)))
)
This should run the code once ispell.el is loaded.
Let me know if this works,
Regards,

Sorry. I added the following to my .emacs.el:
(setq ispell-local-dictionary-alist
(append ispell-local-dictionary-alist
'(
("francais7"
"[[:alpha:]]"
"[^[:alpha:]]"
"[-]" t ("-d" "fr_FR") nil utf-8)
)))
When I start emacs I get the following error message:
Symbol's value as variable is void: ispell-local-dictionary-alist

Dear Agustin, many thanks for your response!

I see. Just a few weeks ago I had a bug that I oculd fix by upgrading
dictionaries-common, the problem fixed by version 1.27.4.
So I really thought the problem was there again.

Thanks! Unfortuantely, I don't think this would work because, as far as
I understand it, the list of dictionaries is computed when a
spell-checking command is run for the first time so I'd expect that such
a definition in the .emacs.el file would be overwritten.
Sébastien.

No problem. dictionaries-common used to ship {ispell,flyspell}.el also for
GNU Emacs, containing the most recent version patched to work with XEmacs
and older Emacs, but that is no longer true because of compatibility issues.

One possibility is to wait for Emacs 26 to be packaged. I think this change
was not pushed to the Emacs25 (master) branch. Installing Emacs from
upstream is an overkill and will become old at some time.
A temporary hack would be to add an entry to your .emacs file, something
like (if none is explicitly set)
;;
(setq ispell-local-dictionary-alist
(append ispell-local-dictionary-alist
'(
("castellano8"
"[[:alpha:]]"
"[^[:alpha:]]"
"[-]" t ("-d" "es_ES") nil utf-8)
)))
;; ---
adapted to your language. Do not forget to remove it once either hunspell or
Emacs are fixed.

OK so I am using GNU Emacs, not xemacs. IS there a way for me to get the correct (patched) version of ispell.el by installing debian packages, or do I have to do something different, like installing an upstream version of GNU Emacs? All the best and thanks again for your assistance, Sébastien.

Hi, GNU Emacs uses its own ispell.el and flyspell.el files, not those provided by dictionaries-common, which are only for XEmacs. ispell.el has recently been patched in Emacs to work around this issue, but since XEmacs does not use hunspell auto-detection I do not think this change is needed in dictionaries-common ispell.el. Please let me know if something is not working that way. Otherwise I will close this bug report. Thanks for your contribution to Debian. Regards, -- Agustin
