Opening files using ctrl+x ctrl+f has stopped working. Specifying a file (say, filexyz) prints this line in Emacs : Directory /home/rup/olpc/filexyz filexyz For some reason it is mistaking files for directories. If I start emacs with filexyz as a command-line argument, the file opens fine. What's could have gone wrong ?
