bug#57822: 29.0.50; Reading Emacs NEWS stumbles on .dir-locals.el

[Jean Louis <bugs@gnu.support>]

I don't think it is appropriate for menu item Help -> Emacs News to show
to users messages below. Invocing menu items shall be hassle free.

The local variables list in /home/data1/protected/Programming/Software/emacs/
or .dir-locals.el contains values that may not be safe (*).

Do you want to apply it?  You can type
y  -- to apply the local variables list.
n  -- to ignore the local variables list.
!  -- to apply the local variables list, and permanently mark these
      values (*) as safe (in the future, they will be set automatically.)
i  -- to ignore the local variables list, and permanently mark these
      values (*) as ignored
