Yes, the lack of suidregister unregistration is an already-reported
bug.  I even have it fixed, but was mocked by some of the /usr/share
changes and haven't got an updated build yet.

This is a good point -- one might suggest (I'm not sure to whom?) that
emacs19 be relegated to disk2 and taken out of the install profiles,
esp. since emacs21 is "almost out" and might actually ship before
debian 2.2 :-)

I dont claim im forced to use emacs but i claim emacs is privileged
over other editors. For example :
1) It is installed in 2 different versions automatically - if someone wants 
different
version he should chose it himself
2) it takes 47 MB (7.37%) of first CD on which, in theory, the most useful 
packages
should be only placed.

I think it would be nice to users of another editors if emacs wouldnt be 
installed
twice by auto and all unimportant additions to it(and another version) will go 
to 2nd CD
(on which there are 2 MB of emacs more now)

tech:
Sizes was count by ls -l /cdrom/dists/slink/main/*/*/*emac* >~/b[12]
and summed by perlscript so there have to be correct

Indeed.  Please remove the offending lines from /etc/suid.conf
yourself.

Why do you think Debian is forcing you to use one specific editor?

emacs and anacron on slink

1999-09-21 Thread Tomasz Wegrzanowski
Since I removed emacs 19 anacron sends me mail every day
in which it says :
File /usr/lib/emacs/19.34/i386-debian-linux/movemail registered but not 
installed

and since I removed all emacses from my computer there is
another line in everyday mail :
File /usr/lib/emacs/20.3/i386-debian-linux-gnu/movemail registered but not 
installed

I think this is a bug in emacs uninstalation script
I also think no editor should be privileged anyhow by debian
Everyones favorite editor is very intimate matter and
forcing anyone to use particular is breaking of users privacy
