Re: New installation of GNU Emacs 28.2, (Debian bookworm,) error

[John Conover]

ls -al .emacs*
-r-------- 1 xxx users 150523 Dec 20  2022 .emacs
-r-------- 1 xxx users 150545 Dec  3  2020 .emacs.bak
-r-------- 1 xxx users  54941 Dec 20  2022 .emacs.elc
-r-------- 1 xxx users  54863 Sep  9  2017 .emacs.elc.bak
-r-------- 1 xxx users   7708 Dec 17  2019 .emacs.help
-r-------- 1 xxx users    220 Feb 10  2022 .emacsheaders

But ln -s .emacs .emacs.el fixes it.

    Thanks,
