That could be an update in default package settings.
Or a broken interoperability configuration on your side.
Or... well, many possible reasons. The main question is how would you resolve
it. You can disable spell checking, or install relevant dictionary, as
suggested earlier.

Regarding package dependencies, I think it's worth creating a fake package
with short explanation of the implications of installing a software that
include optional dependency on spell checker.
