  Odds are that you have a partial install, or multiple installations.

  The "etc" directory SHOULD have a dictionary in it that includes
/usr/share/freeradius/dictionary.  The purpose is to have site-local
attributes.

  Then you are using radclient from one install, and the dictionaries
from another installation of the server.

  Nothing.  The default installation WORKS.  It's only when you do
multiple installations, and then partially remove one, that there are
problems.
