Re: Emacs build number in version

[Vitalie Spinu]

This looks like very much related. I've just updated emacs-snapshot on
Ubuntu and I cannot start emacs because of this error in defadvice:

 (error "Cannot open doc string file 
\"/usr/share/emacs/24.1.50/etc/DOC-24.1.50.1\"")

For example:

   (defadvice delete-backward-char (before delete-empty-pair activate) 
     (if (eq (cdr (assq (char-before) skeletons-alist)) (char-after))
         (and (char-after) (delete-char 1))))
   
produces:
   
   (error "Cannot open doc string file 
\"/usr/share/emacs/24.1.50/etc/DOC-24.1.50.1\"")
