Package: records-gnuemacs Version: 1.4.9-4.1 Severity: important While editing a record, attempting to switch into latex mode brings up the error cannot open load file: records-tex in the emacs minibuffer.
Here's how to duplicate the problem (this may depend on how you've set up your emacs load-path): 0) If you haven't yet done so, run recordsadmin -i first to create indexes and directories. 1) Open a fresh emacs, M-x records-mode, M-x records-insert-record with a dummy title. 2) M-x records-narrow-latex produces the error. How to fix the problem: Emacs cannot find some of the elisp files it needs, ie records-tex.el in this case, which is located in the directory /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/records/ but is not actually bytecompiled in the directory /usr/share/emacs21/site-lisp/records-gnuemacs/ This appears to be a bug in the package installation script. A simple workaround for users is the following: copy all the uncompiled files /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/records/* into a local directory in your load-path, or simply add the following to ~/.emacs (add-to-list 'load-path "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/records") -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) (ignored: LC_ALL set to C) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages records-gnuemacs depends on: ii emacs21 21.4a+1-5 The GNU Emacs editor ii mailcrypt 3.5.8+CVS.2005.04.29.1-10 An Emacs interface to the GNU Priv ii perl [perl5] 5.8.8-7 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii records-common 1.4.9-4.1 Save and index notes in Emacs envi records-gnuemacs recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
