Ah, thanks for your investigation. I should suggest that making a backup of user files which might be caused a -mule/-nomule problem when migrating to -mule from -nomule. > After I get caught up with my mail I will try to see if, in the light > of this resolution, retracing some of the steps you suggested leads to > a better indication of what might actually gone wrong. I will welcome > suggestions, and I will get back the this here bug. I'm not interested in fixing this -nomule bug. I guess that this bug will be closed when xemacs21-nomule is removed from testing/unstable. If you find a problem with xemacs21-mule, please file a bug report as another bug.
