Hi! Disappeared support for Ukrainian spelling check.

ispell-change-dictonary:

Possible completions are:
american 	brasileiro 	british 	castellano 	castellano8 	czech 	dansk
default 	deutsch 	deutsch8

francais7 	german 	german8 	hebrew
italiano 	nederlands 	nederlands8 	norsk 	norsk7-tex 	polish 	portugues
russian 	russianw 	slovak
slovenian 	svenska


How to fix? app-dicts/myspell-uk installed, app-dicts/aspell-uk
installed, app-text/hunspell installed

In ispell.el there is no ukrainian language, but there are other languages.

I understand that your spell-checking program is Hunspell?  What is
the value of ispell-program-name after you turn on spell-checking in a
buffer or "M-x load-library RET ispell RET"?

With Aspell and Hunspell, the available dictionaries are not taken
from ispell.el, they are dynamically detected by asking the
spell-checker to report what dictionaries are installed.  What does
the following command display, if invoked from the shell prompt?

  $ aspell dicts

also, what does the following command display?

  $ aspell -vv

OK, "uk" is available.

That's the problem: Emacs 25 had a bug which prevented it from
accepting Aspell versions that ended in "-rcN".  Emacs 26 fixes this.
You can apply the patch below to ispell.el and recompile ispell.el,
then it should work again.  (Alternatively, you could up- or
down-grade to a version of Aspell whose number doesn't end in "-rcN".)

This is normal.  What is NOT normal is that the dictionaries present
on your system are not included in the list.  And that happens because
Emacs failed to recognize your Aspell as such.

No, not with Aspell and Hunspell.

Here's a patch that should fix your use case:
