Hello Carl, These removals were announced a while back: http://lists.debian.org/debian-emacsen/2010/04/msg00000.html It's my understanding that emacs22 will NOT be in the next stable release anyway, so I don't see any reason to keep supporting it. http://lists.debian.org/debian-emacsen/2010/04/msg00001.html http://lists.debian.org/debian-emacsen/2010/04/msg00002.html I'm sorry that this is an inconvenience for you. Others were requesting a cleanup and it seems like the right time to do that, just before a stable release. Other recent changes also make it more difficult to install the current unstable version on stable anyway. > (I stay on emacs22 until all the machines in my work environment are > capable of running emacs23.) You can install emacs23 from backports to the current stable release: http://packages.debian.org/lenny-backports/emacs23 I'll close this bug when the emacs22 package disappears. Sorry, -- Peter S.
