I have been trying to build amd64 debs of the multi-tty branch of
emacs (http://lorentey.hu/project/emacs.html.en) and I have been
having an odd problem. If I do a ./configure && make bootstrap &&
make, there is no problem. I get an emacs that is functional, does UTF
and everything else.
However, if I build it using dpkg-buildpackage (the scripts are also
by the developer), I get an error when updating the leim list. After
some probing, I found that the error in fact occurs in vc-arch.el as
evidenced in the debug-on-error log.
I do not think that this error is particularly restricted to
emacs-multi-tty as any CVS emacs that I get usually results in this
error. Nor does the architecture seem to have any role: i386 has the
same problem.
The interesting part of the logs I have pasted below.
