Package: emacs21
Version: 21.3+1-4
Severity: normal
So if I make a file with UTF-8-encoded characters in it:
[moise@pogo ~/bugs]$ perl -e 'print pack("c4", 0x33, 0x35, 0xc2, 0xa2) x 2,
"\n";'
35¢35¢
[moise@pogo ~/bugs]$ perl -e 'print pack("c4", 0x33, 0x35, 0xc2, 0xa2) x 2,
"\n";' > /tmp/foo
... and then edit /tmp/foo, I get the '-u8:' that indicates emacs
knows it's a UTF-8 file, and the file displays correctly. If I then
switch to hexl-mode, then I can't move the cursor to the last character
in the buffer. It says "Out of hexl region" starting at the second
'c2', and won't let me move right any further. This makes it difficult
to view the bottoms of files containing large numbers of UTF-8-encoded
characters in hexl-mode.

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.
