Package: ess
Version: 5.3.0-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hi,
The file /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50ess.el contains:
(require 'ess-site)
This will still be executed at Emacs startup when the ess package is
removed but not purged, because the /etc file will still exist. This
will cause an annoying error on Emacs startup and has been known to make
installation of other elisp packages fail during byte-compilation.
I have included a new startup file for you. I have been using similar
startup files for emacs-goodies-el, debian-el, dpkg-dev-el, gri-el,
mh-e, etc.
As a bonus, the enclosed file uses `debian-pkg-add-load-path-item'
instead of manually adding to load-path.
Thanks,
Peter
