The problem lies with the file /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50python-mode.el Python-mode should only be loaded if the version of emacs is not emacs20 or emacs22.
The current test is: (if (not (or (eq (symbol-name debian-emacs-flavor) "emacs20") (eq (symbol-name debian-emacs-flavor) "emacs22"))) It should be: (if (not (or (string= (symbol-name debian-emacs-flavor) "emacs20") (string= (symbol-name debian-emacs-flavor) "emacs22"))) -- emacs22 and python-mode do not play together https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/155681 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
