No need to apologise, Emacs is my oasis in the Windows desert :-). But I
fear this assumption has led you to install Vincent Goulet emacs
version, which I have only heard of. I don't even know if it is possible
to install this version on GNU/Linux.

Could you please post which emacs version are you using? Mine is GNU
Emacs 27.2 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.24) of
2022-01-16.

As you see I haven't made the jump to Emacs 28 yet, but I don't
get the error message you are refering to with Emacs 27.

My linux my distribution is: Debian GNU/Linux 11 (bullseye).

If my assumptions are correct, I would recommend starting from a fresh
install of emacs. But bear in mind that my recommendation is based on the
ignorance of the exact problem.  

HTH,
Jeremie
