I ran some other commands in the terminal before getting a copy of the file 
that you wanted to see (/var/log/apt/term.log).  Now, that file only seems to 
contain information about the recent commands.  I was learning about the 
difference between apt and aptitude. I ran these commands:
$ sudo aptitude keep-all
$ sudo aptitude update
-----W: You may want to run apt-get update to correct these problems
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo aptitude upgrade

In the process of discovering that I had probably overwritten the information 
that you wanted I noticed this file:
/var/log/apt/term.log.1.gz
I managed to get a copy of it out of that directory and unzipped.  The end of 
the file appears to have the information that you want about xemacs.  Or do you 
need that entire file? size is 296KB, appears to go back to July 16 2010 when I 
finally got enough disk space away from windows to install Linux with the 
partition size that I wanted. 
I better upload the whole file, you might need to know what else I have 
installed.
Some further experimenting with xemacs has not revealed any problems yet, it 
still appears to function correctly.
I am no longer concerned about this bug.  If it is your procedure to try and 
discover the problem anyway, I will help if I can, but otherwise you can just 
let it go.

Thanks for the emacs23 suggestion.  I installed ultraedit for the 30 day
trial and when you follow the link on the nag screen the price is $10
less than otherwise (ubuntu users only? not sure).  I think I will do
that, since I already know how to use UE pretty well.  The "find in
files" works the way that I need.
