--- Begin Message ---Hello. While checking old gettext bugs I found this one. It is a Debian packaging bug but it's emacs-lisp related, so I hope somebody here could help. The Debian gettext-el package contains, among other things, the following files: /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50gettext.el /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/gettext/po-compat.el /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/gettext/po-mode.el 50gettext.el is like this: (setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.po[tx]?\\'\\|\\.po\\." . po-mode) auto-mode-alist)) (autoload 'po-mode "gettext/po-mode" "Major mode for translators to edit PO files" t) (autoload 'po-find-file-coding-system "gettext/po-mode") (unless (featurep 'po-find-file-coding-system) (autoload 'po-find-file-coding-system "gettext/po-compat")) (if (fboundp 'modify-coding-system-alist) (modify-coding-system-alist 'file "\\.po[tx]?\\'\\|\\.po\\." 'po-find-file-coding-system)) When gettext-el is removed but not purged, po-compat.el and po-mode.el are no longer present, but 50gettext.el remains. How could I modify 50gettext.el minimally so that it enters emacs fundamental mode when po-mode.el is no longer available and the user tries to edit a po file? Thanks. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Kevin Ryde <use...@zip.com.au> To: sub...@bugs.debian.org Date: Tue, 08 May 2007 01:51:14 +1000 Subject: Bug#422664: gettext-el: 50gettext.el setups when package removed Package: gettext-el Version: 0.16.1-1 Severity: normal File: /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50gettext.el If gettext-el has been removed (dpkg --remove) but not purged, the setups left by 50gettext.el do bad things when attempting to visit a .po file. Eg. emacs -q C-x C-f /tmp/x.po => Wrong type argument: stringp, nil where I hoped to get a fundamental-mode buffer. Same error for either an existing x.po or starting a new file. I think site start conf bits are meant to notice when their actual package files have been removed, and suppress all (or nearly all) setups. [...]
