Hi Maxim,

Thank you to looking.

Yes, sourcing the current etc/profile fixes the issue.

Therefore, EMACSLOADPATH should be the culprit and I had done a
mistake, not enough investigating before reporting. My bad! Sorry!

I think it comes from the new EMACSLOADPATH variable. The new Emacs
binary is looking at it so if the etc/profile is not yet sourced then
troubles arises.
That's why it does not happen with "-Q" because no-site-file and
no-site-lisp, i.e., EMACSLOADPATH is not "required".
However, "-q" just turns off the ~/.emacs and needs EMACSLOADPATH.

So I think to reproduce: install an old Emacs, upgrade, do not source
again the current profile, launch Emacs from this profile.

Well, it is not an issue but a bad practise. :-)
Sorry.


All the best,
simon
