ispell: The file "/usr/lib/aspell/german" can not be opened for reading.

Hi!

When I open a file which starts flyspell, I get this:

,----[ *Messages* ]
| Starting new Ispell process [aspell::german8] ...
| Error enabling Flyspell mode:
| (Error: The file "/usr/lib/aspell/german" can not be opened for reading.)
`----

My spelling-related config is:

Yes, there is no "/usr/lib/aspell/german". However, I was wondering,
why Emacs is looking for .../aspell/german and not
.../aspell/german8?

How can I fix this issue?

Thank you!
