--- Begin Message ---Package: whizzytex Version: 1.3.2-1.2 Severity: minor File: /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50whizzytex.el /usr/share/doc/emacsen-common/debian-emacs-policy.gz section 8) Emacs lisp load path asks lisp add-ons to add directories with `debian-pkg-add-load-path-item' rather than directly modifying `load-path' the way 50whizzytex.el does. I believe debian-pkg-add-load-path-item is available as of "sarge" emacsen-common 1.4.14 of June 2002. It keeps /usr/local ahead of packaged lisp dirs so that anything the sysadmin puts in /usr/local has precedence. I notice too 50whizzytex.el uses (symbol-name flavor) to make the path. I think `flavor' is only a dynamic binding from the site-start.d running code whereas `debian-emacs-flavor' is the documented variable. Switching to that might be desirable. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_AU.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages whizzytex depends on: ii advi 1.10.2-2 ii dpkg 1.17.1 ii emacs23-lucid [emacsen] 23.4+1-4.1 ii emacs24-lucid [emacsen] 24.3+1-1 ii tex-common 4.04 ii texlive-latex-base 2013.20131112-1 Versions of packages whizzytex recommends: ii evince [pdf-viewer] 3.10.0-1 ii gv [pdf-viewer] 1:3.7.4-1 ii mupdf [pdf-viewer] 1.2-2 ii xpdf [pdf-viewer] 3.03-11 ii zathura [pdf-viewer] 0.2.5-1 whizzytex suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
