Package: emacs22
Severity: important
Hi.
I had a small experience today with emacs22, but, unfortunately, I had
to remove it and put back emacs-snapshot, because emacs22 doesn't
provide the name "emacs" if installed only with emacs22-gtk and the
other necessary packages (please, note that I didn't install the package
named emacs; I tried to keep my installation minimal).
I would love to have emacs22 working in a way that I can type my files
with LaTeX (and for that I need AUCTeX)...
Oh, BTW, I filed this as "important" because it breaks other programs
which expect to call Emacs, without specifying the version.
Thank you very much for your efforts packaging the new Emacs, Rogério Brito.

Dear Sven.
Sorry for taking so long to reply, but I figured out what the problem
was: the alternative system was set to be manual and calling
emacs-snapshot (despite the fact that it was not installed anymore):
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ update-alternatives --display emacs
emacs - status is manual.
link currently points to /usr/bin/emacs-snapshot
/usr/bin/emacs22-gtk - priority 25
slave emacs.1.gz: /usr/share/man/man1/emacs.1emacs22.gz
Current `best' version is /usr/bin/emacs22-gtk.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
I guess that this is counterintuitive usage of alternatives
> By the way, you do not need to remove emacs22 to install
> emacs-snaphot, they happily co-exist on my system, as you can see.
For space constraints I have to, unfortunately. :-(
I'm closing this bug. Please, if you think that this should be reopened
and assigned to the alternatives system, feel free to forward this
information.
Regards, Rogério Brito.
