--- Begin Message ---Package: emacs22-common Version: 22.3+1-1 Severity: normal I'm scratching my head over this one. On the same system, with identical .emacs files in /root and in /home/zed, if I edit a file in a mercurial directory as user zed, I'm fine. If I become root and then run, or even sudo, emacs on a file in a version-controlled directory, it breaks with the following backtrace: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument number-or-marker-p nil) logand(nil 128) vc-mode-line("/root/test.txt") vc-find-file-hook() run-hooks(find-file-hook) after-find-file(t t) find-file-noselect-1(#<buffer test.txt> "~/test.txt" nil nil "~/test.txt" nil) find-file-noselect("~/test.txt" nil nil t) find-file("~/test.txt" t) call-interactively(find-file) I checked the environment variables between the two to see if I could find something interesting, and didn't. I diffed the *Messages* buffer on both to see if one was loading something that the other wasn't, and nothing. Neither home directory has a .hgrc file. The mercurial version on this system is 1.2. I can't replicate the error on a Lenny box with Mercurial 1.0.1 and Emacs 22.2, even with the same .emacs file. I hope you have some idea of what's going on here. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (650, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages emacs22-common depends on: ii dpkg 1.14.25 Debian package management system ii emacsen-common 1.4.17 Common facilities for all emacsen emacs22-common recommends no packages.

--- Begin Message ---This bug has been reported against an ancient version of emacs (emacs21, emacs22) that is no longer supported. It is assumed to be fixed (or no longer relevant) in newer releases and therefore I'm closing this report now. If the problem is still reproducible in the current version (emacs24), feel free to provide more information and reopen this bug report. Andreas
