I wonder if it could be an interaction problem between the packages. The snippet from debconf I mentioned earlier (exec 3>&1 1>&2) does a redirection that may be making some assumptions that don't hold in the emacs shell environment. Specifically, stderr or stdout might be referencing the terminal (if any--there was one in my case) from which emacs was launched, and so not refer to the terminal environment inside of emacs. Now that I've written that explanation out, it doesn't look too likely, but I'll note it here in case it helps. emacs21 is the relevant program I was running in, not xemacs or an earlier emacs, so it's the right emacs for the reassignment. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
