Package: emacs21
Version: 21.2-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
I seems that ange-ftp does not work for "/ftp.netbsd.org:/pub",
here is the output of an edited report-emacs-bug report that
documents this problem.
I did not submit this bug report directly to the fsf because I
didn't want my email address to appear on the gnu.emacs.bug news
group.
In GNU Emacs 21.2.1 (i386-debian-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
of 2002-03-22 on raven, modified by Debian
configured using `configure i386-debian-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr
--sharedstatedir=/var/lib --libexecdir=/usr/lib --localstatedir=/var/lib
--infodir=/usr/share/info --mandir=/usr/share/man --with-pop=yes --with-x=yes
--with-x-toolkit=athena --without-gif'

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
Actions:
$ emacs -nw -q -no-site-file
C-x C-f
Find file: /ftp.netbsd.org:/pub
Symptoms:
The buffer named "pub" does not contain an ftp directory listing,
in fact, it is in Fundamental mode, rather than being in Dired-mode.
Here is the result of C-x C-b,
MR Buffer Size Mode File
-- ------ ---- ---- ----
.* *mail* 2118 Mail
* *ftp [email protected]* 2873 Internal Ange-ftp
pub 0 Fundamental /ftp.netbsd.org:/pub
*scratch* 191 Lisp Interaction
* *Messages* 580 Fundamental
% *Bug Help* 298 Help
I get the same results when I try the same commands using the
standard site-init files, as well as when I use my .emacs file, so
I conclude that this is a problem with emacs itself.

Hello,
Thanks for your interest in improving Debian, and sorry that the bugs
were not fully resolved or closed in due time.
emacs21 packages have been removed from testing in 2009 [1], not
present even in the current stable. Consequently, these bugs are now
orphan (without maintainer assigned) so they probably will not be
attended/noticed further.
[1] http://packages.qa.debian.org/e/emacs21.html
The bugs deemed valid are going to be verified and reassigned, but the
current bugs that I'm closing now are very ancient (more than 10 years
sometimes) and marked as fixed-upstream years ago, with no recent
input, and are supposed to be fixed in emacs22 at the latest.
Please comment if you want think that some of the raised questions are
still pending and need to be addressed differently (e.g., reassigned
to other packages, etc.).
Cheers.
