Starting Emacs fails with the error:
Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading `/home/juri/.emacs':
error: Attempt to modify read-only object
To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file. Start Emacs with
the `--debug-init' option to view a complete error backtrace.
Starting Emacs with the `--debug-init' option displays:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Attempt to modify read-only object")
delete(("\\`\357\273\277" . utf-8-with-signature) (("\\`BABYL OPTIONS:[
]*-\\*-[ ]*rmail[ ]*-\\*-" . no-conversion) ("\\`\376\377" .
utf-16be-with-signature) ("\\`\377\376" . utf-16le-with-signature)
("\\`\357\273\277" . utf-8-with-signature) ("\\`;ELC" . emacs-mule)))
(setq auto-coding-regexp-alist (delete (rassoc ...
auto-coding-regexp-alist) auto-coding-regexp-alist))
The reason of this error in .emacs is the lines that remove a match
for `utf-8-with-signature' from `auto-coding-regexp-alist' that allows
to always display the BOM (Byte-order mark signature) to be able
to remove it without the need to visit files literally:
(setq auto-coding-regexp-alist
(delete (rassoc 'utf-8-with-signature auto-coding-regexp-alist)
auto-coding-regexp-alist))
Before yesterday there were no problems with this.
