Package: ilisp
Version: 5.12.0+cvs.2004.12.26-3
Severity: normal

After installing the ‘ilisp’ package, the interactive prompt for
‘find-file’ is rejecting names of nonexistent files.

Steps to reproduce:

* Install ‘ilisp’ and ‘emacs23’.

* $ emacs -nw -eval '(call-interactively (function find-file))'

* At the “Find file: ” prompt, type a filename that exists (e.g.
  ‘/etc/debian_version’) and press ‘RET’.

  The file content will open in a new buffer.

* Exit Emacs.

* $ emacs -nw -eval '(call-interactively (function find-file))'

* At the “Find file: ” prompt, type a filename that does not exist on
  the filesystem (e.g. ‘/tmp/blah’) and press ‘RET’.

  The interactive prompt will behave as though ‘TAB’ had been pressed
  instead: the terminal bell rings, and the prompt remains at the
  filename and shows “(No match)”.

* Exit Emacs.

* $ sudo aptitude purge ilisp

* $ emacs -nw -eval '(call-interactively (function find-file))'

* At the “Find file: ” prompt, type a filename that does not exist on
  the filesystem (e.g. ‘/tmp/blah’) and press ‘RET’.

  The command succeeds, with a new empty buffer named ‘blah’ and the
  minibuffer shows “(New file)”.


So, the problem is caused by ‘ilisp’ (or one of its dependencies)
affecting Emacs; and the problem stops after removing ‘ilisp’.
