git gui 1.7.9-1: "spell checking is unavailable" error message

[Matt Seitz (matseitz)]

Is "git-gui" missing a dependency on "aspell-en"?

On Nov. 5, I ran "setup.exe" and updated all "Pending" packages.  Since then, whenever I run "git gui", I see a pop-dialog from git-gui with the following error message:

	error

	Spell checking is unavailable

	No word lists can be found for the language "en_us"

When I searched for this issue on Google, I read this issue is triggered by not having an "aspell" dictionary installed.

I again ran "setup.exe", and searched for "aspell".  I saw "aspell" listed under "Current" as "0.60.6.1-1".  But for "aspell-en", the "Current" column was blank, and the "New" column says "Skip".

I am attaching the recommended "cygcheck -s -v -r" output, as well as "setup.log".
