It's more a question to the GNU maintainers (you, Andy, and Simon), but probably of interest to the Debian maintainers. :-) Thanks, Ludo'. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

I agree. The “normal C library” case is going to be an exception rather than the rule. As far as the GnuTLS Guile bindings arguments, libguile-gnutls was never meant to be used as a “normal C library”, so it should definitely go under something different from $libdir (I wasn’t clear on that when I worked on it back then.) So as time permits, I’m planning to update GnuTLS so that it installs the .so under $(pkglibdir) or $(libdir)/guile-1.8. Any preference?

Bug#447916: libmailutils1: Guile module fails to load `libmailutils'
Hi, Jordi Mallach <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > This is documented in README.Debian, but I'm not sure that's enough. Any > other suggestion? The file reads: This package includes a few guile dynamic libraries, but they can't be used without their corresponding .la files. Why is it the case? AFAIK, neither `dynamic-link' nor `load-extension' needs the `.la' files, and `mailutils.scm' (for instance) doesn't refer to them directly. > Depending on the -dev package is not a good > alternative, but maybe creating a (tiny) package for the guile stuff > which does depend on -dev could be. Yes, a tiny self-contained `guile-mailutils' package. Thanks, Ludovic. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Understood.

Yes: dead keys (e.g., Meta) won't work.

Typing M-x yields the `ø' ("o slash") character instead of running
`execute-extended-command'.
Typing accented characters with the `latin-1-prefix' input method, for
instance, does work, but I'm not sure how this relates to the fact that
Meta doesn't work.

Indeed, using "C" as my locale fixes the problem (I used to have "LC_CTYPE=fr_FR"). Strangely enough, Emacs 21.4.1 with "LC_CTYPE=fr_FR" doesn't have the problem (i.e., dead keys are usable). Checking the "Meta Sends Escape" box of the xterm in which I run Emacs 22 also fixes the problem, even with a non-C locale. I guess I'm just displaying my lack of familiarity with how terminals work... >> What other choices were tried? utf-8, latin-X should all >> work. What is your locale? With a "C" locale, utf-8, latin-1, and others are accepted, whereas `no-conversion' yields the above error message.

I believe the bug should be re-opened. I'm now using `gs-gpl' 8.54.dfsg.1-5 (on PPC). While `ps2pdf' does succeed in converting a PS file with textures to PDF, Ghostscript (via `gv') still raises an error when trying to display a page with textures. This occurs, e.g., when trying to display page 168[*] of the file /usr/share/doc/lout/user.ps.gz provided by `lout-doc' (I get "GPL Ghostscript 8.54: Unrecoverable error, exit code 255"). Can you reproduce this? Thanks, Ludovic.
