Package: emacs21
Version: 21.1-1
Severity: important
When I write the letters åäö (a-ring, a-umlaut, o-umlaut) from the keyboard
they show up only as boxes. This happens in X. On a terminal the same
characters are apparently interpreted as "control" keys. The xterm and the
console display the characters just fine. Under the console emacs works fine.
I would think this is my problem but everything was ok in emacs20 (still
is actually). This is probably an X-font problem but I have no clue as to
where it would be so perhaps someone smarter than me can figure it out...

Hello,
Thanks for your interest in improving Debian, and sorry that the bugs
were not fully resolved in due time.
emacs21 packages have been removed from testing in 2009 [1], not
present even in the current stable. Consequently, these bugs are now
orphan (without maintainer assigned) so they probably will not be
attended/noticed further.
[1] http://packages.qa.debian.org/e/emacs21.html
The bugs deemed valid are going to be verified and reassigned, but the
current bugs that I'm closing now are very ancient (more than 10 years
sometimes) and marked as unreproducible years ago. Please comment if
you want think that some of the raised questions are still pending and
need to be addressed differently (e.g., reassigned to other packages,
etc.).
Cheers.
