Package: cmigrep
Version: 1.3-1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software
cmigrep's emacsen-install script is overzealous; specifically, it
inappropriately attempts to compile all .el files in
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp even if they don't work with the current
emacsen flavor (for instance, remembrance-agent's remem.el
vs. xemacs), and compounds the problem by removing
/usr/share/$FLAVOR/site-lisp/*.el, which may contain files belonging
to other packages (for instance, auctex's tex-site.el).
Could you please rein it int to compile only cmigrep.el, with none of
the path.el business (which is also unnecessary)?
I'd also recommend running $FLAVOR with -no-site-file to avoid loading
unnecessary startup files, which wastes time and generates noise (but
at least isn't actually harmful).
(The emacsen-remove script is already correct, at least.)
Thanks!
