Ah thanks, my initial search didn't find it. Thanks!


Since I'm starting emacs currently as root, I have no idea how Steve
Kemp's home dir comes into play. I also cross checked with the Ubuntu
(gutsy) version and and don't find anything there.

Is the package emacs21-common-non-dfsg installed on the gutsy system?
It contains the file /usr/share/emacs/21.4/etc/GNU that Emacs fails to
read on your system.

No, and it does not seem to be an issue with both emacs21 and emacs22, i.e. no rogue /home/xyz appearing in strace.


Anything I can help how to resolve this?

You can install the emacs21-common-non-dfsg package from non-free or
rebuild the package in a directory that is not NFS-mounted.  If you are
the administrator of your system, of course.

Worked like a charm. And since I'm the admin I can persue all possible ways now to fix this!

Thanks a lot, feel free to close this bug report.

Cheers

Carsten
