Make sure that git isn't installed, e.g. by running 'apt remove git' on
a Debian system.  Then, in the Emacs source test directory:

This is weird because trampver.el properly uses ignore-errors, so this
error shouldn't bubble up.

Ah, the problem is that with-demoted-errors uses
condition-case-unless-debug.  More minimal example:

$ emacs -Q -batch -eval '(let ((debug-on-error t)) (ignore-errors
(with-demoted-errors "%S" (error "foo"))))'
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "foo")
[…]

I think this behavior is very confusing. Both version.el and
trampver.el try to do the right thing, but that breaks in such a
situation.

I'm unable to reproduce the error with the current emacs-27 branch (or
on the trunk).  I "apt remove git" first, and then:

larsi <at> xo:~/src/emacs/emacs-27/test$ make lisp/simple-tests SELECTOR=simple-delete-trailing-whitespace--bug-21766

It is somewhat confusing, yes, but it's also pretty convenient in some
circumstances.

In any case, are you still seeing the reported test problem?

But not when running unit tests.

I also can't reproduce this any more, but the root cause (ERT binding
`debug-on-error' to t) is still there, so I think we're just lucky
that this doesn't happen any more for this specific test.
I guess this bug can be closed, but we should really make some
progress on https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=11218.

Indeed not.
