Bug Description
"ls" should never have been aliased in the first place. It was a mistake. The emacs install de-aliases it unconditionally. Except I've done that on my platform, so the "unalias ls" command fails and that causes the installation to fail. Killing the alias is reasonable enough, but the install script needs to ignore the failure or test for the existence of the alias first.
