This is very odd behavior. I use Ubuntu with no problems with their
stock Emacs. From what I can tell from above, you don't seem to have
any non-standard elisp packages installed either. The code you posted
is just a standard debian-startup elisp file which hooks emacs into
debian's way of maintaining different elisp packages across diffferent
Emacs versions. What version of Ubuntu are you using?
