Have tracked down the problem a bit: line 127 in /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa-src/git-commit-3.3.0/git- commit.el contains:
(require 'with-editor) and this fails because I have set noexec mount option for /tmp. Strange enough, "(require 'with-editor)" does _not_ fail when it is invoked from the ~/.emacs Setting noexec onto /tmp is a security measure, so it is very unfortunate that this post-install script fails from it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2105374 Title: Installing magit errors "failed to map segment from shared object" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/magit/+bug/2105374/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
