And it does indeed seem that installing package=*-nox somehow disables one's ability to run graphically: $ sudo aptitude remove emacs-snapshot-nox ... > The following packages will be REMOVED: > emacs-snapshot-nox ... > The following packages have unmet dependencies: > emacs-snapshot-gtk: Depends: emacs-snapshot but it is not going to be installed. > The following actions will resolve these dependencies: > Remove the following packages: > 1) emacs-snapshot-gtk > Accept this solution?

And after that, $ emacs-snapshot-gtk --debug-init & performs as expected. That seems to me like a bug: is it? If so, where to report (e.g., to emacs, to the package maintainers, other)? TIA, Tom Roche
