No the point is I cannot not do what you suggest, since it seems
that
this function does not exist, I try to type it and no completion
occurs, even stranger, when looking up the function via, describe
function, the function does not appear!?
You will need to type M-: (require 'package-admin) RET to make the function
available to describe-function--it doesn’t have an autoload.
(Which does raise the question, in my mind, as to whether you can advise a
function that doesn’t exist--cool, after a little experimentation, you can.)
But, actually, you should be able to deactivate the advice even without the
function being loaded. You just won’t have completion while you’re doing
it.
ad-unadvise does have completion for advised functions that haven’t been
loaded, so you should be able to see the package-admin-delete-binary-package
when you press tab there. (Unfortunately, if I remember my experience from
the last time I wrote some advice correctly, it doesn’t actually
work. Though I may be misunderstanding what it’s supposed to do.)
It seems that definitely something is very strange in this debian.
Absolutely.
(There are other oddies, like I cannot install 3rd pkg in
~/.xemacs/xemacs-packages, but this is another story.)
NEEDLESS to say Aidan, I appreciate your help, but *can't* you just
use ASCII for ASCII messages
Hey, it’s hard to be a standards weenie without annoying someone. Glad to be
able to help on the other stuff.
