I think the cause of the bug is in package uim. See the last messages: uim.el: starting uim-el-helper-agent... let: Symbol’s function definition is void: process-kill-without-query Package uim-1.8.8-4.fc32.x86_64 uses release uim 1.8.8 from 2018. There is a patch from 6 Feb 2019 that solves the problem. https://github.com/uim/uim/commit/164e2eb050b5fec25033124834cf49ea1a7d8cbb Maybe it may be useful to update uim to the current git version, even if there is no new release. Otherwise at least the patch should be applied and a new package build. Due the update of emacs to version 27.1 the problem on uim occurs as a dependency of emacs. Currently emacs is not fully useable when package uim is installed. Removing package uim (with dependencies) temporary solves the problem for emacs. But package uim* are needed, so this is no solution. I have applied patch https://github.com/uim/uim/commit/6e4e1a6488ef72cc86bd4413f1d6260117dab023.patch to package uim-1.8.8-4.fc32.src.rpm and build a new package so I can test it. It solves the problem, e.g. emacs works with uim* installed without error. emacs still show the message "Package cl is deprecated" but this doesn't abort the initialization of emacs. It may be that other packages calls emacs package cl (but currently I don't know which). That should be another bug report. This is a bug in uim and not in emacs then, thus assigning to the uim maintainer. FEDORA-2020-629c35705c has been pushed to the Fedora 34 stable repository. If problem still persists, please make note of it in this bug report.

Created attachment 1712603 [details] Messages in buffer *Messages* Description of problem: Since today, when I start emacs on Fedora 32, it doesn't finish initialization. I get the error message Package cl is deprecated When emacs is used as the editor for git, then when calling "git commit" emacs is started but does not display the git commit message window but the "*scratch* window. When I exit emacs, then it asks if I want to save ~/.abbrev_defs (it doesn't ask in normal behavior) and if I want to kill active processes (uim-el-helper-agent, it doesn't ask in normal behavior). So emacs isn't usable for git commit now. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): emacs-27.1-2.fc32.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emacs Actual results: Error message Expected results: No error message
