Hi.
The new ispell package released recently causes aspell[1] to die. This
is because aspell does not grok the `-vv' switch passed from
`check-ispell-version'.
This option under ispell will spit out both the version header and a
whole bunch of information about the setup of ispell.
The trivial fix for me, locally, was to make this a single `-v' -- I
only use aspell and it does not spit out the `LIBDIR' information
anyway.
That is clearly not the right thing(tm) for most people though. I
suspect that adding support for this option to aspell is correct, but
maybe XEmacs could try and be more tolerant of these errors?
