The relevant message in that file seems to be this one: > In toplevel form: > silly-mail.el:86:1:Error: /usr/bin/mail is not executable That is the same problem as in #502762, triggered by a Debian-specific patch that lets sendmail.el throw an error if neither sendmail nor /usr/bin/mail can be found, first reported and discussed in #429059. Since a sensible solution had already been proposed in #429059, I'm inclined to throw all these bugs together and assign them to the emacs22 package. Opinions?
