Dan> (gnus-version)"Gnus v5.9.0" is seen in gnus, but the debian version Dan> number is 5.8.8 Manoj> emacs 21 comes with gnus 5.9.0; and the stand alone gnus Manoj> package version 5.8.8 does not over ride it. I do not see a bug here. My goodness, you mean if I apt-get remove gnus, my gnus will suddenly get newer... What is the justification for a standalone package for gnus if one need emacs to run gnus, and that emacs has a newer gnus inside? We gnus users will of course install the gnus debian package when we see it in say aptitude. Little did we know that it infact is a gnus downgrade and we should stay away? Anyway, am I safe to apt-get remove gnus? Will it actually freshen my gnus? -- http://jidanni.org/ Taiwan(04)25854780
