Can you check also, if you have differents versions of emacs installed (or been
installed) if /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp or /usr/share/emacs-snapshot/site-lisp
exist and contain dictionaries-common with all it's files.
If not, you will have to uninstall/reinstall one version of emacs or create a
symlink from the valid site-lisp to the other.
