Hi, Some status info on what I found for this problem. I was doing some bisect in sid with the FSF Emacs commits and seems that the problem arises in a change in upstream FSF Emacs http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.diffs/119768 dictionaries-common uses updated ispell.el from FSF Emacs bzr repo with specific changes for XEmacs and for better integration. That change is not included in wheezy dictionaries-common, so I could not find the problem there, but is in sid. Quickly looking at above change it is not evident for me what is causing the problem, I need to look at it more carefully. > Despite the following information in > /usr/share/doc/dictionaries-common/README.emacs.gz > > Force disabling of dictionaries-common emacsen-stuff > ---------------------------------------------------- > > If you want to always use original {ispell,flyspell}.el instead of > those provided by Debian dictionaries-common you should edit the > file > > /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50dictionaries-common.el > > and add your flavor to the `skip-emacs-flavors-list' list. > > I couldn't convince "emacs -q -nw" to load the generic ispell even after > I added "emacs24" to the "skip-emacs-flavors-list" list.

Emacs flavors are again installing subdirs.el, which causes al subdirs under it be added to load-path $ dpkg -S subdirs.el emacs24-common: /usr/share/emacs24/site-lisp/subdirs.el emacs23-common: /usr/share/emacs23/site-lisp/subdirs.el emacs-snapshot-common: /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/subdirs.el emacs23-common: /usr/share/emacs/23.4/lisp/subdirs.el emacs-snapshot-common: /usr/share/emacs-snapshot/site-lisp/subdirs.el emacs24-common: /usr/share/emacs/24.3/lisp/subdirs.el emacs-snapshot-common: /usr/share/emacs/24.3.50/lisp/subdirs.el I think they should rely in emacsen-common tools for this. I have to ask again at the debian-emacsen list. Already asked 5 years ago http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.devel.emacsen/2440 but got no reply. Depending on what others think, I will chose how to re-allow the possibility of disabling dictionaries-common code from /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50dictionaries-common.el if needed. I do not have much spare time these days, do not know when I will be able to look at this in depth. Regards -- Agustin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
