Thanks, pushed.

Yes, but I saw that its alias is "german-old", so I thought someone
might rename the files or something.

Installed the Aspell dictionary `de-alt':

<ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict/de-alt/aspell6-de-alt-2.1-1.tar.bz2>

Started EMACS, then opened a text file written in German:

  Dies ist ein kurzes Dokument, das nicht sehr lang ist, so dass ich es
  schnell schreiben konnte.

  Local IspellDict: de-alt

Interactively ran `ispell-buffer'. This resulted in an error message:

  ispell-init-process: Error: The encoding "nil" is not known. This
  could also mean that the file "/usr/lib/aspell-0.60/nil.cset" could
  not be opened for reading or does not exist.

The reason is that Emacs didn’t parse `de-alt' into
`ispell-dictionary-alist'.

A workaround is to specify in `~/.emacs':

  (require 'ispell)
  (add-to-list 'ispell-dictionary-base-alist
               '("de-alt" "[[:alpha:]]" "[^[:alpha:]]" "" t
                 ("-d" "de-alt")
                 nil utf-8))
