My way of reproducing Bug#2807 is: In emacs repo directory: make tags make install emacs -Q M-x visit-tags-table RET /path/to/where/installed/TAGS/ended-up M-x tags-search RET tags-search While it doesn't error out with: `next-file: Opening input file: no such file or directory, It says: All files processed without finding tags-search. Checking messages I see: Scanning file /usr/local/share/emacs/30.0.50/lisp/cus-start.el... Scanning file /usr/local/share/emacs/30.0.50/lisp/international/emoji.el...

And something is off. It couldn't be scanning cus-start.el, because I only have cus-start.elc and cus-start.el.gz in that directory. It seems to me that it's scanning cus-load.el, which is not byte-compiled. I think that the behavior change with regards to the OP reproducer is: commit df1dbaf121703aebae83d2725b7aed8b961f2913 Author: Dmitry Gutov <dgutov <at> yandex.ru> Date: Fri Jul 30 14:58:25 2021 +0200 Make fileloop skip missing files * lisp/fileloop.el (fileloop-next-file): If a file doesn't exist, skip to the next one (bug#44979). For reproducing Bug#44494, I follow the same steps, but instead of executing tags-search I do: (require 'xref) M-x xref-etags-mode C-u M-. tags-search And get: user-error: Rerun etags: ‘^(defun tags-search ’ not found in /usr/local/share/emacs/30.0.50/lisp/progmodes/etags.el
