--- Begin Message ---Package: bhl Version: 1.7.3-2 Severity: normal File: /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50bhl.el After dpkg --remove bhl visiting a .bhl file emacs23 -q /tmp/foo.bhl gives an error File mode specification error: (file-error "Cannot open load file" "bhl") where I hoped it would just give fundamental-mode or whatever. dpkg --remove leaves behind conf files like 50bhl.el. Generally the lisp startup should check for the package contents before making an auto-mode-alist setup. Eg. (if (not (file-exists-p "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/bhl.el")) (message "bhl removed but not purged, skipping setup") (autoload ...) (add-to-list '...)) Incidentally, the auto-load-alist regexp usually should be "\\.bhl\\'" rather than "\\.bhl$" since $ matches a newline whereas \\' is end of string -- in the highly unlikely event a non-bhl file has ".bhl\n" in its name :-). -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-486 Locale: LANG=en_AU, LC_CTYPE=en_AU (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages bhl depends on: ii dpkg 1.15.8.8 ii emacs21 [emacsen] 21.4a+1-5.7 ii emacs22-gtk [emacsen] 22.3+1-1.2 ii emacs23 [emacsen] 23.3+1-1 ii install-info 4.13a.dfsg.1-8 ii xemacs21-mule [emacsen] 21.4.22-3.2 bhl recommends no packages. bhl suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
