I now have it after closely looking at your /usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/vm script. Here are the relevant actions in that script with line numbers: 43: ELDIR=/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/$PACKAGE 44: ELCDIR=/usr/share/$FLAVOUR/site-lisp/$PACKAGE 48: STARTFILE="$PACKAGE-init.el"; 92: cd $ELCDIR; 109: sed -e "s|=F|/usr/share/$FLAVOUR/site-lisp/$PACKAGE|" \ 110: $STARTFILE > $ELCDIR/$STARTFILE; 111: ucf $ELCDIR/$STARTFILE $STARTDIR/50$STARTFILE; When the shell executes the sed call in lines 109/110, it is in $ELCDIR, thus $STARTFILE becomes $ELCDIR/$STARTFILE, and sed (and ucf in line 111) gets an empty file as input. You had better feed sed with $ELDIR/$STARTFILE, I suppose that would work. Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
