Subject: ispell: The file "/usr/lib/aspell/german" can not be opened for reading.

Hi!

When I open a file which starts flyspell, I get this:

,----[ *Messages* ]
| Starting new Ispell process [aspell::german8] ...
| Error enabling Flyspell mode:
| (Error: The file "/usr/lib/aspell/german" can not be opened for reading.)
`----

My spelling-related config is:

,----[ .emacs ]
| ;; http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15346723/emacs-and-ispell-error-loading-german8
| (eval-after-load "ispell"
|   '(add-to-list 'ispell-dictionary-alist
|                 '("german8"
|                    "[A-zA-ZäöüßÄÖÜ]" "[^a-zA-ZäöüßÄÖÜ]" "[']" t
|                   ("-C" "-d" "de_DE-neu.multi")
|                   "~latin1" iso-8859-1)))

| (autoload 'flyspell-mode "flyspell" "On-the-fly ispell." t)
| (setq flyspell-issue-welcome-flag nil)
| (setq flyspell-default-dictionary "german8")

Yes, there is no "/usr/lib/aspell/german". However, I was wondering,
why Emacs is looking for .../aspell/german and not
.../aspell/german8?

How can I fix this issue?

Thank you!
