The path where texworks looks for dictionaries is hard coded to
/usr/share/myspell/dicts/ during compile time. Some myspell packages install
their dictionaries there, some use /usr/share/hunspell.

Unfortunately it is unclear, which path is correct and if this is eventually a
bug in the spell package(s). Would you be so kind to clarify this question,
before we change our code (and eventually break spelling for the other set of
spelling packages)?

Thanks,

P.S. If /usr/share/myspell/dicts does not exist on your system you could create
a sym link pointing to /usr/share/hunspell.
