There's a merged pull request on the void-packages repository Remove noarch from aspell-* https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/pull/24248 Description: aspell dictionaries aren't architecture independent: the dictionary format depends on size_t, therefor it needs to be made architecture specific. This is why the dictionaries are stored in /usr/lib and not in /usr/share. Without this fix, I get the following error on amd64 when running `aspell check -l fr`: > Error: The file "/usr/lib/aspell-0.60/fr-40-only.rws" is not in the proper format. Incompatible hash function. This fixes the aspell-fr package on amd64 and probably most 64bits architectures.
