I also tried emacs-nox and have the same problem. Removing my .emacs did not have any effect. I do not mess with my system files so I am a bit confused as to how to track this down. Is there a verbose mode which allows me to see what to do?

I have emacs-ess also installed (from Fedora 36) that has not been updated and is probably obsolete or retired.
