Package: emacs21
Version: 21.4a-1
Severity: normal
With LANG=fr_CH.UTF-8, emacs cannot open a file such as ~/té/
('é' being acute 'e' utf8 encoded). Emacs says:
"File not found and directory write-protected"
If the unicode character is in a subdir (ie. when
opening ~/té/d/a') emacs says:
"Use C-u M-x make-directory RET RET to create directory and its
parents"
No problem in other programs like nano, and no problem opening
the same files with env LANG=C.

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.
