Xemacs21 in testing is too old and buggy to support; it's the same version which was in woody. Apparently nobody has been able/willing to clear up the RC bugs in the version in sid. These are: #206667: FTBFS on m68k This shouldn't be RC, because xemacs21 has never built on m68k. I don't know why the "maintainer" hasn't changed its severity #233790, #233791, #251111, #207412: Installation failures. #249672: ships info.dir.gz There have been requests for help to the debian-emacsen mailing list. The "maintainer" has proved unable to do anything about the bugs. Myself, I think xemacs21 needs to be removed from testing. (And the maintainer should be asked to orphan it again, as well.) This situation with xemacs21 has gone on far too long. -- There are none so blind as those who will not see.
