1) No, it is the same information that appears in the "dpkg --configure -a"
output in my original email. I will duplicate it below.
2) I tried:
A)
$ sudo emacs ...
B)
$ sudo -s
# emacs ...
C)
$ sudo -s
# su
# emacs ...
Iteration C produced the same output as you. I have env_keep in my
/etc/sudoers. I think emacs in the script is seaching $HOME/.emacs.d/ and my
init.el is causing it to add $HOME/.emacs.d/elpa to the load-path. For
iteration
A and B, $HOME="/home/myusername" and no output was produced.
$ sudo sh -c 'echo $HOME'
/home/myusername
$ sudo -s
# unset HOME
# emacs --quick --batch -l package \
--eval "(add-to-list 'package-directory-list
\"/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa-src/company-0.9.6\")" \
-f package-initialize --eval "(message (locate-library
\"company-tests\"))"
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa-src/company-0.9.6/company-tests.el
3) By ~/ I mean "/home/myusername/"
I am ready to admit that this is an issue with my site configuration, and
not a
likely issue for other users. It could be prevented by unsetting HOME in the
/usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/elpa-company script or setting
HOME to
a known-good directory.
$ cat /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/company-0.9.6/Install.log
