I too had to remove nxml-mode ( and jde ) before being able to

xml-node could be reinstalled afterwards, but for jde even that didn't work...
The problem with nxml-mode was that when emacs21 is updated, both its prerm and postinst scripts get called. In the prerm script, there is:
if [ $1 != "upgrade" ]; then ... /sw/lib/emacsen-common/emacs-remove emacs21 fi
However the postinst script does:
# Regiser ourselves with emacsen-common /sw/lib/emacsen-common/emacs-install emacs21
without any check on whether it's an upgrade.
This results in nxml-mode (and all other emacs packages) having their install script called again, without the remove script being called.
I'm not sure that emacs21 is doing the right thing here, but will have to look at it more...
In the meantime, I've updated nxml-mode to handle its install script being called more than once.
Still looking at jde...
