Ahh, yeah, speaking more generally, I fully expect we may hit and have to (help) fix a relatively large number of edge cases as a result of the addition of native compilation. Lots of new moving parts, and the arrangement in Debian is likely different from what upstream typically tests in important ways. (cf. the other problem right now where installs segfault in some cases if you don't already have emacs-el installed. That's likely an upstream bug of some kind.) -- Rob Browning rlb @defaultvalue.org and @debian.org GPG as of 2011-07-10 E6A9 DA3C C9FD 1FF8 C676 D2C4 C0F0 39E9 ED1B 597A GPG as of 2002-11-03 14DD 432F AE39 534D B592 F9A0 25C8 D377 8C7E 73A4
