Well, I had to purge emacsen-common and when I installed emacs23 it
installed emacsen-common. Now when I try to install yatex, I get the
"not getting along" error you would expect:

Setting up yatex (1.73-4) ...
install/yatex: Byte-compiling for emacs23...
    The current directory must be set to the ITT directory.
    Change the default to the ITT directory and re-run
    this script.

emacs-package-install: /sw/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/yatex
emacs23 emacs23 failed at /sw/lib/emacsen-common/emacs-package-install
line 30, <TSORT> line 1.

I also get a similar error when trying to install python-mode.

Thanks,
Sean
