Re: Fixing a bug on Tramp

[Justin Joseph Kaipada]

Sure, here it is. 

Tramp version : 2.2.13.25.2

Emacs version: GNU Emacs 25.3.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0, NS appkit-1265.21 Version 10.9.5 (Build 13F1911)) of 2017-09-12

Pls set tramp-verbose to 10, and rerun your test. There will be a Tramp
debug buffer, which you will show us. Pls send it as attachment, because
every single bit will count; the buffer's text shall not be mangled by
"clever" mail programs.

Btw, which Emacs/Tramp version are you running?

This is not lost time! It sounds like my default approach to understand
an unknown package.
