Bug ID: 258856
Summary: editors/emacs-devel: Error happens at startup time if
~/.emacs is symbolic link to other file
Product: Ports & Packages
Version: Latest
Hardware: Any
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Only Me
Priority: ---
Component: Individual Port(s)
Assignee: emacs@FreeBSD.org
Reporter: yasu@freebsd.org
Assignee: emacs@FreeBSD.org
Flags: maintainer-feedback?(emacs@FreeBSD.org)
In my home directory ~/.emacs is symbolic link to ~/.init-files/.emacs
----------------------------------------------------------------------
yasu@rolling-vm-freebsd1[1004]% ls -l ~/.emacs
lrwxr-xr-x 1 yasu user 18 Jan 6 2015 /home/yasu/.emacs@ ->
.init-files/.emacs
yasu@rolling-vm-freebsd1[1005]%
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And after update editors/emacs-devel to ports e7edd97198e4, following error
message is displayed in *Warning* buffer when I start emacs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading ‘/home/yasu/.emacs’:
Wrong type argument: number-or-marker-p, nil
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The error disappears if I do `rm ~/.emacs; cp ~/.init-files/.emacs ~/.emacs`.
And it only happens with 14-CURRENT.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
yasu@rolling-vm-freebsd1[1007]% uname -a
FreeBSD rolling-vm-freebsd1.home.utahime.org 14.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 14.0-CURRENT
#0 main-n249811-a36230f75e0: Sat Oct 2 01:34:30 JST 2021

amd64
yasu@rolling-vm-freebsd1[1008]%
----------------------------------------------------------------------
With 13.0-RELEASE and 12.2-RELEASE emacs starts without any error.
