It has been discussed, but I guess it is a little hard to find - you have two
options:
- downgrade enchant to version 1.4.2
- or build version 1.5.0 using:
 './configure --disable-zemberek' (spellcheck turkish)

Downgrading a package in ubuntu seems a little tedious - from what I read you
should first:

apt-cache showpkg enchant (or whatever the package is called)

followed by:

sudo aptitude install enchant=<version number output from before>
