What happened?
I recently get errors that there is no file de-DE.dic when running checklist::check_project():
> checklist::check_project()
Checking spelling
Error: Dictionary file not found: de_DE.dic
This error keeps coming after updating to the newest version with checklist::setup_checklist() and also after manually adding a file de-DE.dic to the project. As I use flandersqmd in combination with checklist, the error might come from that package as well, but it appears after running checklist::check_project() and it seems related to checking spelling. I don't use German language in my projects, and it didn't appear before the checklist update, so I don't understand why this problem is suddenly there and how to solve it.
Minimal reproducible example
Clone flandersqmd-book (https://github.com/inbo/flandersqmd-book), then run:
checklist::check_project()
