This most probably broke in June with enchant_1.6.0-1.

It's looking for an English dictionary, such as in the myspell-en-us
or hunspell-en-us packages. Building with either of those makes the
tests succeed.

It would probably also be good to set LC_ALL=C for the test suite
so that user locale settings don't affect the build. (Setting LC_ALL=en_US
or something like that works too, but then we need the locales package
or perl will complain about unknown locale settings.)
