Bug#965089: singular-ui-emacs: ESingular fails on fresh installation (missing .emacs-singular)

[Volker Diels-Grabsch]

Package: singular-ui-emacs
Version: 1:4.1.1-p2+ds-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

On a fresh installation, the ESingular command fails with:

$ ESingular
Error: Can't find emacs load file for Singular mode.
 Expected it at /usr/bin/../share/singular/emacs/.emacs-singular

However, it does work when telling it to use "singular.el" instead
of that non-existing file:

$ ESingular --emacs-load /usr/share/singular/emacs/singular.el

To fix this issue, I propose to either make that one the default,
or to provide a new file /usr/share/singular/emacs/.emacs-singular
in the package.


Regards,
Volker
