I meant that .emacs might have been erroneously saved as utf8 (that
sometimes happens, e.g., that recently happened to me with a .procmailrc
that tried to exclude some >128 chars combinations, and was accidentally
saved a utf8, so the strings were not correct and everything was messed up)

Should not be a problem, as long as the encoding is known to emacs and can
be fully converted to the ispell dict encoding (expect misalignment errors
otherwise)

I am completely puzzled by this, because is working like a charm here (in a
woody box, but I am sure ?? I tested it also in a sid box before Easter). Can
you
please add to your .emacs file
(setq debian-dict-common-debug "yes")
and see what is the related information in the messages buffer? Some keys to
what you will find there,
bfcs: buffer-file-coding-system
ecs: emacs coding system (mime charset of bfcs)
ics: ispell dict coding system
did: default Debian ispell dictionary
dad: default Debian aspell dictionary
ild: ispell local dictionary
Here I have:
did: nil
dad: nil
ild: british+accs
bfcs: iso-latin-1-unix
ecs: iso-8859-1
ics: iso-8859-1
I hope to have access tomorrow to my development sid box and retry
everything again.
Cheers,
