Package: icicles Version: 22.0+20081227-1 Severity: normal After installing icicles, *all* users get the following message when starting emacs on console, xterm or telnet session:
/-------- | You might NOT want to use Icicles without a windowing system (manager). | | Consider using `emacsclient' (or `gnuclient'). Icicles makes use of many | keys that are unavailable when running Emacs in console mode. If you do | use Icicles in this mode, you will want to rebind those keys - see file | `icicles-mode.el'. \-------- or (with --batch): /-------- | *WARNING* - Icicles uses keys that require a windowing system \-------- The package shouldn't be so aggressive simply on Emacs start-up - such a message would be fine when enabling icicles-mode, for instance, but is just an irritation for the user otherwise. As an interim, temporary fix, perhaps the site-start.d file should duplicate the /-------- | (or window-system (and (fboundp 'daemonp) (daemonp))) \-------- test in icicles.el to determine whether or not to load it? -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (900, 'stable'), (400, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages icicles depends on: ii emacs22 [emacsen] 22.2+2-5 The GNU Emacs editor icicles recommends no packages. icicles suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
