Perhaps I'm misunderstanding that... > $ ls -l /usr/bin/emacs > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Aug 19 20:50 /usr/bin/emacs > -> /etc/alternatives/emacs* Not here... bash-2.03$ ls -l /usr/bin/emacs -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1811332 Dec 18 1999 /usr/bin/emacs > $ ls -l /etc/alternatives/emacs > lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Aug 19 22:25 > /etc/alternatives/emacs -> /usr/bin/emacs20* Not here either... bash-2.03$ ls -l /etc/alternatives/emacs ls: /etc/alternatives/emacs: No such file or directory > $ dpkg -S /usr/bin/emacs20 > emacs20: /usr/bin/emacs20 And of course, this won't work, since there's nothing emacs related on my system, according to dpkg and apt, of course. Somehow, emacs slipped on -- and it must have been Debian related, since it shows up in the Gnome menu... If I blow it away, what else is related? Just .el files?
