Subject: bug#9304: report-emacs-bug fails: /Mail write-protected.
Date: Mon, 15 Aug 2011 16:52:48 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110815145248.GB1222@stefan-klinger.de> (raw)
Reproduce: Start with a write-protected ~/Mail, run ‘emacs -Q’, type ‘M-x report-emacs-bug’. This fails with the message “make-directory: Creating directory: permission denied, /home/foo/Mail/drafts”. No further information is provided.
Directory ${HOME}/Mail is write protected intentionally. IMHO bug reports should be created in a somewhat temporary location.
‘emacs-version’ reports
GNU Emacs 23.3.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2011-04-10 on brahms, modified by Debian
Kind regards,
Stefan
