Bug#561181: sepia: install fails with emacs23
Hilko Bengen ben...@debian.org writes: w3m-el (= 1.4.5) | w3m-el-snapshot Sounds likely. You'd be tempted to try to reduce that Depends to a Recommends, or just a Suggests. sepia-w3m.el could probably byte compile without w3m if a fake (provide 'w3m-perldoc) were insinuated in there when compiling, or maybe a condition-case around the require. But perhaps then trying to use it later would fail in ways that were too obscure. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

* Kevin Ryde: Yes, it installs with that. Thanks. Or perhaps w3m-el (= 1.4.100) | w3m-el-snapshot (= 1.4.100) Apparently, w3m-el hasn't had a proper release since 1.4.4 nearly 5 years ago. I think it's safe to assume that if/when 1.4.5 gets released, it will support Emacs 23. I'll go with w3m-el (= 1.4.5) | w3m-el-snapshot Cheers, -Hilko -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Hilko Bengen ben...@debian.org writes: installing w3m-el-snapshot Yes, it installs with that. In that case, a cheap fix would be to have sepia depend on w3m-el-snapshot. Or perhaps w3m-el (= 1.4.100) | w3m-el-snapshot (= 1.4.100) ready for when the basic w3m-el becomes new enough, and preferring it if there's still both available at that future time. Dunno exactly what version number should be anticipated though. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Bug#561181: sepia: install fails with emacs23
* Kevin Ryde: where I hoped that if sepia does plenty that doesn't depend on w3m then it would install but the w3m parts be omitted or be non-functional in emacs23 (or unless a new-enough w3m-el). Thanks for spotting this. You are right about the core functionality... I remember seeing that message from emacs-w3m... Could you please try if installing w3m-el-snapshot cures the problem on your system? In that case, a cheap fix would be to have sepia depend on w3m-el-snapshot.
