Re: autoup.sh + deselect broke emacs
Young, Ed [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Ok, I'm still confused... Emacs? Not part of the current distribution? This is alarming. There are now *four* emacsen in hamm: emacs-19.34, emacs-20.2, xemacs-19.16, and xemacs-20.4, and you need to choose which you want. The emacs package is obsolete because of the greater variety provided in hamm. And yes, you do need up upgrade to use the new libc6-based programs. I'm not sure what you mean by not to worry since the upgrade has broken Emacs and now it is catagorized as obsolete meaning it is not part of the current distrubution. I'm certain that there must be a way to fix emacs in hamm. Is it by using Deselect, and just selecting it for upgrade? (a loathsome download nightmare). On a 28.8k modem it doesn't take *that* long, just two or three hours :) Perhaps I should get a clue on the use of dpkg or apt since it seems most on this list avoid deselect in favor of dpkg if only one package is to be installed, emacs in this case. No, I think many debian-users use the apt method *inside* deslect: it handles dependency ordering correctly, so you don't need multiple passes of install/configure which the vanilla dselect sometimes requires.

Xemacs and missing /usr/spool link
Hi all, I finally tracked down a problem with Xemacs19 and gnus, and hope this can help someone else. I'm tracking unstable, and generally having very few problems (thanks!). The past few days, however, xemacs has refused to recognize that I have mail in my mailbox, and gnus doesn't see it either. Xemacs, gnus, and some other packages (efs, prim, reportmail, rmail, crontab, and vm), all look for mail in /usr/spool/mail/user. On Debian systems, this is a symlink to /var/spool/mail/user, so all is well. This symlink seems to have been removed by some package recently, however, and problems began developing. Was this a deliberate policy decision? I seem to have missed discussion of it. I currently have added a line to my .emacs (so display-time will show the status of the mailbox): (setq rmail-spool-directory /var/spool/mail/) and one to my .gnus: (setq nnmail-spool-file /var/spool/mail/npreyer) and this works. Or I could replace the /usr/spool link.

Re: Lexmark Printer
We need a lot more info to figure out what's wrong! I've got an Optra R+ which works beautifully with Debian. The problem is much more likely to be with your setup of lpr/lprng, apsfilter/magicfilter, etc. Can you give some more details? Specifically, do you have it attached to a parallel printer port or do you have the network card in it? Which flavor print daemon do you use? Any extra filtering? And what happens if you do something like ls /dev/lp1 (as root)? The Printing-HOWTO file (/usr/doc/HOWTO/Printing-HOWTO.gz) should give you enough info to get started debugging your setup, and I'll be glad to compare settings on the lexmark control panel.

That package still hasn't made it from the Incoming directory at master.debian.org, so I was missing those files. Installing modutils fixed everything. Thanks for the support, Klee!
