Package: emacs-goodies-el
Version: 30.2-1
Severity: important
I'm not sure if this is a problem with emacs23 or emacs-gooodies-el.
I recently switched from emacs-snapshot to emacs23.
Symptoms:
With ido loaded,
- C-x C-f opens a file, but doesn't switch to that buffer.
- C-x C-f C-f (disabling ido temporarily) works as expected.
- C-x b doesn't switch to the buffer.
- C-x b C-b (disabling ido temporarily) works as expected.
- C-x C-i is indent-rigidly in emacs-snapshot. ido appears to
override this with ido-insert-buffer in emacs23.
Diagnosis:
Emacs23, Emacs-snaphshot and emacs-goodies-el all provide an ido
implementation. Emacs-snapshot prefers its own implementation to
emacs-goodies-el's, but Emacs23 does not:
$ dlocate ido.el
emacs-goodies-el: /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/emacs-goodies-el/ido.el
emacs23-common: /usr/share/emacs/23.1/lisp/ido.elc
emacs-snapshot-common: /usr/share/emacs/23.1.50/lisp/ido.elc
$ emacs-snapshot --batch -Q -eval '(message (locate-library "ido"))'
/usr/share/emacs/23.1.50/lisp/ido.elc
$ emacs23 --batch -Q -eval '(message (locate-library "ido"))'
/usr/share/emacs/23.1/site-lisp/emacs-goodies-el/ido.elc
I believe this is probably a bug. Either Emacs23 is still not setting
its load path correctly (and thus can't find its own ido.elc), or
emacs-goodies-el does not yet handle '23 as a debian-emacs-flavor, as
it does for 'emacs-snapshot.
Emacs-goodies-el's ido definitely should not supersede emacs23's
internal copy, because the latter is a much newer version (2001
vs. 2009).
Note: this issue probably affects more package within emacs-goodies-el
than just ido, I merely happened to notice it immediately with ido.
