Developers should be cognizant of the packages they are requiring to
be used.
It would be very helpful if configure specified what it is
specifically looking for, and includes what it needs in the error
message.
It seems that the new emacs silently quit last night while the screen
was locked. I may need to retreat to the previous release (25.3).
Something else I notice is that when I open a file which is in a
Mercurial repository, the /usr/bin/hg program crashes and I get an
Ubuntu crash report. The Ubuntu crash report screen does not allow me
to copy text from it, but the command executed which crashed starts
with '/usr/bin/python /usr/bin/hg log -r . -l1 -template ...'. This
does not happen with emacs-25.3. The crash is due to use of a None
value. The version of Mercurial provided by this Ubuntu release is
2.8.2.
