GNU Emacs 24.0.91.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.1) |
summary: on debian, installing both packages
emacs-snapshot-gtk emacs-snapshot-nox
causes the latter to disable the former. Is this working as designed, or a bug?
If a bug, where to report?

And it does indeed seem that installing package=*-nox somehow disables
one's ability to run graphically:
$ sudo aptitude remove emacs-snapshot-nox
...

$ sudo aptitude install emacs-snapshot-gtk
> The following NEW packages will be installed:
> emacs-snapshot{a} emacs-snapshot-gtk
...
And after that,
$ emacs-snapshot-gtk --debug-init &
performs as expected. That seems to me like a bug: is it? If so, where
to report (e.g., to emacs, to the package maintainers, other)?
