[Reportbug-maint] Bug#711404: reportbug's GTK interface crashes if spelling dictionaries for the current locale are missing

[Juan Luis Boya]

Package: reportbug
Version: 6.4.4
Severity: important

If python-gtkspell is installed (as recommended by reportbug assistant) but
dictionaries are missing, it crashes without putting any hint to the user
except in the case he ran reportbug from a terminal.

This is the backtrace put in the terminal.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 2206, in <module>
    main()
  File "/usr/bin/reportbug", line 1080, in main
    return iface.user_interface()

    gtkspell.Spell (self.view)
glib.GError: enchant error for language: es_ES.UTF-8

A workaround is to install aspell-es (or the package which matches your
locale).

I uploaded a video demonstrating the bug while I was attempting to report
another. By the way, that madison version check thing takes ages to complete.
