Package: git-el
Version: 1:2.28.0-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
While updating my emacs configuration for 27.1 (now in unstable)
I noticed that /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50git-core.el prints
git removed but not purged, skipping setup
and does not autoload either git.el or git-blame.el. This appears to
be because /usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/git does nothing
when $FLAVOR is “emacs”:
| # The emacs startup file looks for these files in
| # /usr/share/${debian-emacs-flavor}/site-lisp/git.
| # Installing to the generic /usr/share/emacs/site-list/git would be
| # pointless.
| [ "$FLAVOR" != emacs ] || exit 0
This has been incorrect for quite some time - I’m not sure how long
ago it was that (symbol-name debian-emacs-flavor) was changed to
evaluate to “emacs” for the ordinary packages of GNU Emacs, but
probably more than one release by now.
I think a sufficient fix is to remove the above quoted lines from
/usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/git.
