Comment 1 Garrett Mitchener 2012-06-13 18:24:46 UTC

I just ran into this. There are initialization files

/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/gnu-smalltalk/smalltalk-mode.elc
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/goodies/ctypes.elc
...

(and the corresponding .el files) that refer to the variable inihibit-first-line-modes-regexps, but it has been renamed in recent versions of emacs.  Removing those files got rid of this problem for me.  There might be other elisp packages with the same problem.  I found these by using grep:

grep -r 'inhibit-first-line' /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp

then

rpm -qf /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/gnu-smalltalk/smalltalk-mode.elc

etc. to find the package they belong to.

There might be other emacs packages with this problem that I just don't happen to have.

The real fix is for all those packages to be updated and rebuilt.  Meanwhile, at least on my system, I got rid of the problem by removing the emacs-gnu-smalltalk and emacs-goodies packages:

yum erase emacs-gnu-smalltalk* emacs-goodies*

This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 3 Petr Hracek 2013-02-28 12:25:44 UTC

When the packages like emacs-gnu-smalltalk* and emacs-goodies* will be rebuilt that all will work.

Corresponding bugzillas reports were opened:
