Emacs 23.2, 17.fc15. When launching from the command line as 'emacs' : [claudio@localhost ~]$ emacs bash: emacs: command not found... Packages providing this file are: 'emacs-nox' 'emacs' However, emacs is installed: [claudio@localhost ~]$ yum info emacs Loaded plugins: auto-update-debuginfo, langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit Installed Packages Name : emacs Arch : x86_64 Epoch : 1 Version : 23.2 Release : 17.fc15 Size : 10 M Repo : installed The launcher in GNOME 3 doesn't work either, I guess because the 'emacs' command is not found.
Re-installing Emacs (`yum remove emacs && yum install emacs`) should help as a workaround. Was the machine upgraded from some older Fedora? Or is it a clean F-15 installation?
It's an upgrade from Fedora 14. I noticed that the same happens with transmission (it can only be ran as transmission-gtk), so it might pretty well be a general problem.
I have the same problem after a preupgrade from F14 to F15.

(In reply to comment #1) > Re-installing Emacs (`yum remove emacs && yum install emacs`) should help as a > workaround. So any explanation for the upgrade problem? I suppose it is related to: * Tue Aug 17 2010 Karel Klic <kklic> - 1:23.2-11 - Own /usr/bin/emacs (rhbz#614935) - Updated the handling of alternatives to match https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Alternatives ?
Jens, there are multiple issues in both Fedora 14 and 15 emacs packages related to the usage of alternatives. I'm going to backport fixes from Rawhide to both branches and issue updates. This particular update problem is AFAICT caused by Fedora 14 package removing emacs from alternatives, and Fedora 15 emacs failing to register back because of missing dependency on alternatives (chkconfig package), which is also updated when going from F14 to F15 (thus missing at the time of emacs %post execution).
