bug#44318: 28.0.50; Problem with ispell/flyspell and ""enchant"" backend

[dinkonin]

I agree with Eli Zaretskii,

 after some further investigation I've narrowed it down to an issue with the arch packaging that does not exist in other non arch-based distributions. I reported the issue in https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/68499, and I hope this will be resolved by the package maintainer.

Again sorry for wasting your time and thank you both for the swift responses.

Thanks, but I'm not interested in working around installation problems
of programs we invoke.  It's a slippery slope, with never-ending
additional requests we will have to honor.
