You've said that it does happen with -q; therefore the problem is not in your user customization. Therefore the problem is in your site customization. Ie it should not occur with: emacs --no-site-file --no-site-lisp Ie, you need to look for the cause in /etc/emacs/site-start.d and other such places (which seems to include, from --enable-locallisppath /etc/emacs25:/etc/emacs:/usr/local/share/emacs/25.2/site-lisp: /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp:/usr/share/emacs/25.2/site-lisp: /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp) This would explain why other Mint users don't see your problem, eg https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?p=1599898#p1599898 (Are you sure the "C-h f time-add" information came from an Emacs session where the error occurs?)
