I have a very simple fix for this problem. I don't know if the fix for some reason is not acceptable - but at least it is working: Simply add libxaw-headers to the build-depends. That's where the X11/Xaw/Paned.h file lives, after all, according to Contents-i386.gz. And I know the solution works - I built it in an updated unstable "pbuilder" on May 2nd. And I am using the resulting emacs each day! best regards -- Peder Chr.

It seems emacs21 #includes X11/Xaw/ everywhere except for the 3d scrollbars, in which case (if it finds -lXaw3d during configure) it will #include from X11/Xaw3d/. Further, if it finds -lXaw3d during configure, it will replace -lXaw with -lXaw3d, so in the end emacs21 only links against Xaw3d. At least, AFAICT. > Perhaps xaw3dg-dev should actually be installing its own headers as > X11/Xaw/*, I don't know; This is configurable in xaw3d's Imakefile, but the upstream default is X11/Xaw3d/ and Debian does not appear to change this. Xaw3d's README (which is the only source of information I found so far) does not seem to touch the question on which #include line to use. > but in practice this is not the interface that Xaw3d provides, > upstream or in Debian, so emacs21 needs to either include X11/Xaw3d/* > instead of X11/Xaw/, or build-depend on libxaw7-dev. At least emacs CVS still does that (only #including etc. for the scrollbars and otherwise using ) Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Well, I'm afraid I have to reopen this bug. It turns out that it was never really an xaw3dg bug at all: emacs21 build-depends only on xaw3dg-dev, but expects to find X11/Xaw/Paned.h, which has never been shipped by xaw3dg-dev but only incidentally dragged in by a (wrong) dependency on libxaw7-dev. Perhaps xaw3dg-dev should actually be installing its own headers as X11/Xaw/*, I don't know; but in practice this is not the interface that Xaw3d provides, upstream or in Debian, so emacs21 needs to either include X11/Xaw3d/* instead of X11/Xaw/, or build-depend on libxaw7-dev. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.

Bug#365688: dependency chain is broken
I think have figured out the problem of aptitude trying to evict emacs21. emacs21 version 21.4a-3.1 depends on emacs21-common and emacs21-bin-common emacs21-common version 21.4a-3.1 wants emacs21-bin-common version 21.4a-3.1 Since there is no emacs21-bin-common version 21.4a-3.1 for i386 linux, the chain fails. Simple fix - upload emacs21-bin-common 21.4a-3.1 for i386 and other arches. -- Johan KULLSTAM -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
