[Python-modules-team] Bug#904487: Failed to load plugin "spellchecker" - No module named gtkspell

[Miguel Bouzada]

Package: python-gtkspellcheck
Version: 4.0.5-1

I've been trying to configure in Virtaal tool the spellcheck in Galician
for Debian 9 and Ubuntu 18.4 but it's not working. After comparing package
lists, build rules and upstream's source code with Arch Linux - where it's
correctly working - we believe this is due to a missing parameter
GTKSPELL=true in the ./setup.py file, which is inhibiting the module to be
invoked and, hence, compiled.
