Dear Maintainer,

I recently noticed a bug for the emacs package in sid.


After upgraded to emacs 29.1+1-5, I found that the emacsclient command
is not working. More specifically, the following command hangs emacs in
daemon forever and no emacs frame pops up:


```

emacsclient -c -a "" -n

```


However, `emacsclient -c -a ""` summons the emacs frame properly
although it occupies the terminal.


Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the report.  I just hit the same thing, and figured it out.

I think we'll probably have it fixed soon.  For reference, it looks like
we should be providing flavor-specific emacsclients.  Currently the one
in emacs-bin-common (the only one) comes from the pgtk build, and when I
tried a lucid-built emacsclient with my lucid emacs daemon, the problem
went away.

So I'm in the process of moving emacsclient from emacs-bin-common to the
flavor-specific packages, i.e. emacs-pgtk, emacs-gtk, emacs-lucid, etc.

We believe that the bug you reported is fixed in the latest version of
emacs, which is due to be installed in the Debian FTP archive.

A summary of the changes between this version and the previous one is
attached.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
have further comments please address them to 1050953@bugs.debian.org,
and the maintainer will reopen the bug report if appropriate.

   * Give each Emacs flavor its own emacsclient.
     Move emacsclient from emacs-bin-common to the emacsVER (i.e.
     emacs-lucid, emacs-gtk, ...) packages so that each one will have the
     binary that was built for that flavor.
 .
     Explicitly list the variant and common bin alternatives instead of
     globbing.  Add the alternatives variables to deb_sub so we don't need
     the separate perl -i substitutions.
 .
     Stop splitting some of the debian/rules $(call ...) invocations across
     two lines because it was introducing a space into the argument value
     which would then break quoted expansions like "$(1)...".
 .
     Thanks to Wang Yizhen & others for discussion.
     Closes: #1050953.  See also: #1043060.

   * Generate README.Debian from patch README-Debian psuedo-headers.
 .
     Rework debian/patch-to-news to generate the README.Debian entry from a
     README-Debian DEP-3-style psuedo-header, when present.  The header's
     syntax is similar to the debian/control Description format.  Among
     other things, this change makes the common case of cherry-picking
     upstream patches easier, and less invasive, since in many cases, a
     simple README-Debian header can be appended while adding the other
     headers, instead of (as previously) reindenting the upstream commit, etc.
 .
   * Adjust debian/patches for the new patch-to-news.
 .
   * debian/emacs-common.README.in: drop vestigial ".elc removal" notice.
     Long irrelevant since switching to base the packaging on the upstream
     source repository.
 .
   * debian/emacs-common.README.in: match NEWS mode/format vars.
 .
   [ Sean Whitton ]
   * Merge upstream version 29.2.

   * debian/control: Add Breaks/Replaces for emacsclient package move.
