I suspect you're having the same problem I was, which I believe is caused by the fact that earlier versions of the package (in untable) didn't have --no-enable, and the auto-run behavior seems to be sticky. I "fixed" it here by purging and reinstalling emacs-common, but I'd hope there's a better way. If so, I'd be happy to consider adding some notes to a suitable /usr/share/doc file, and/or trying to automate a fix. Though if the fix isn't simple, I might hesitate attempting to automate it, since the problem (I hope) only existed somewhat briefly in unstable. Thanks for the report, and sorry for the trouble. -- 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
