"Bad" habit=A0;-) of trying to update all of my locally copied packages (downloaded from Internet) from time to time... Why am I not relying on CVS trunk? In fact, I'm only using pre-compiled and packaged versions: o the one from Alexandre Vassalotti for Ubuntu, and o the one available on ourcomments.org for Windows. And the reasons I have some packages locally copied are that: o Both Emacs versions are not always in sync' (up to some weeks ago, the W32 version was still Emacs 22, for example), having then different packages with them. o Some packages are easily included in Ubuntu (via Emacs goodies) while they aren't in Windows. o Though, the Emacs goodies packages are well a lot out of date (color-theme, etc.)... Because of this, I have some locally accessible packages that I am accessing from both Emacs (only one local copy, only one dot-emacs file). That being said, I dropped the latest `flyspell.el' file from my local repository, and yes - it seems to resolve my problems...
