Re: missing files from aspell-dict package

Normally ~/.guix-profile/etc/profile does:

  export ASPELL_DICT_DIR="$HOME/lib/aspell“

Can you confirm that’s the case?

I’m not familiar enough with Aspell.  Do you think this is a
misconfiguration of the ‘aspell-dict-en’ package and possibly other
‘aspell-dict-’ packages?

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ find $(guix build aspell-dict-fr ) -name \*cset
$ find $(guix build aspell-dict-fr ) -name \*cmap
$ find $(guix build aspell-dict-en ) -name \*cmap
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Let us know if you have clues on how to fix it.

TIA,
Ludo’.
