I reported strange things with emacs earlier, but I thought it might be something wrong with my partially configured system.
Nope, it is just plain busted. I've added this bug report:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2249379
I guess I'll have to try building from the fedora 38 source rpm on fedora 39 and see if I can get a working emacs that way.
I use the emacs-nox package. It provides an emacs binary, and works both interactive and over ssh.
$ ls -Al $(command -v emacs) lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 23 Nov 7 19:32 /usr/bin/emacs -> /etc/alternatives/emacs $ ls -Al /etc/alternatives/emacs lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 23 Nov 7 19:32 /etc/alternatives/emacs -> /usr/bin/emacs-29.1-nox
I have not encountered any problems (yet?).
