Hi,
I'm trying to install the notmuch-emacs debian package that I built on
raspbian from the latest in git today, and upon installation I run into
an error message from ln complaining about source and destination files
being the same. It seems to come from
debian/notmuch-emacs.emacsen-install (installed to
/usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/notmuch-emacs) which takes
$FLAVOR as an argument, and in my case the $FLAVOR is being passed in as
"emacs" instead of "emacs23" for some reason. Unfortunately, I don't
really understand how Debian's package system works and I can't for the
life of me figure out how this script is called and where the flavor
detection happens. Could somebody knowledgable please clue me in?
Thanks
Anye

Hi Anye;
I don't think that error message is fatal. The flavour "emacs" is for
the source files (un-bytecompiled) as far as I recall. In any case the
same message is received on Debian, so it isn't raspian specific.

As a followup, if you try the current 'release' branch, that message
should be gone.
