How is x11-common causing problems? There was no mention of specifics in
your posts, and the packages discussed so far all seem to have other
explanations?

Looks like the new libaspell15 conflicts with aspell6-dictionary, which is
the virtual package provided by the old aspell-$lang packages, and the new
aspell doesn't depend on the new dictionaries, it only has a recommends on
aspell-en | aspell-dictionary | aspell6a-dictionary. Do you think this
warrants a bug on aspell?
