Package: ess
Version: 17.11-1
Followup-For: Bug #882042
Looks like ess doesn't play well with emacsen-common.
ess-lisp-directory is initialized to /usr/share/emacs25/site-lisp/ess/
in ess-utils.el:46. The ess-etc-directory-list expects to find the etc
directory somewhere relative to this path, which is not true for debian.
You need to explicitly eval
(setq ess-etc-directory "/usr/share/ess/etc/"
ess-etc-directory-list nil)
before the package is loaded, or patch the default definition.
