As described in the previous post, Debian seems to react upon the installation of the iamerican-insane package as with the superuser script to set the dictionary that alternative does show up. However after that with `ispell-change-dictionary' the alternatives are still only american default svenska If I remove all iamerican-* packages the american alternative go away. I don't know if this is related to the iamerican package in particular but that seems reasonable. But then why aren't the iamerican-small, iamerican-large, iamerican-huge, and iamerican-insane there whenever _they_ are installed? PS. The Swedish dictionary doesn't work either. It says "ispell-init-process: Illegal format hash table /usr/lib/ispell/svenska.hash - expected magic2 0x9602, got 0x414c" -- underground experts united https://dataswamp.org/~incal
