I am still having problems with this package. Now it doesn't want to be installed nor to be removed (actually, after jumping through a couple of hoops that I forgot, but at least involving "sudo touch /sw/var/lib/emacsen-common/installed-flavors", I got it reinstalled and then removed. Won't touch it any more, will stay with XEmacs).
