aspell: No modes #476684
Description
Nixpkgs version
- Unstable (26.05)
Describe the bug
Based on investigation in another issue, it looks like installing aspellWithDicts leads to a broken aspell installation:
❯ aspell modes
[no output]
This causes git gui to always produce a 'Spell checking is unavailable: Unknown mode: "none".' error on startup.
Steps to reproduce
Set config.environment.systemPackages or home-manager.users.<username>.home.packages to include
(pkgs.aspellWithDicts (dicts: [
dicts.de
dicts.en
dicts.en-computers
dicts.fr
dicts.mi
dicts.nb
]))
Expected behaviour
This should result in a working aspell installation
