Re: emacs24 problem of installation on Debian testing (jessie)

[Joseph Vidal-Rosset]

Hello Huber, Ernest, Bob, and the list,

Many thanks for your kind help.

I have finally discovered the error. I had try to build emacs from sources
and the emacs bin in /usr/local/ prevented a clean install of the Debian
package. It was simple, but it was very long and hard for me to understand
what happened !

Many thanks to all of you !

Best wishes, and happy new year !
