Probably the Ubuntu autobuilders built the package outside /home, so the problem does not show up there. I would assume it is present anyway (look for etc/GNU in the strace output to see where they built Emacs). >> You can install the emacs21-common-non-dfsg package from non-free or >> rebuild the package in a directory that is not NFS-mounted.

BTW, the emacs22 packages in sid have the bug as well. Cheers, Sven -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
