Package: docutils-common Version: 0.12+dfsg-1 Severity: normal Reading up on rst-mode here:
http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/user/emacs.html .... i am told that rst.el is distributed with Emacs since v23.1. Unfortunately, it seems that if you have docutils-common *and* emacs24-common, you have *two* versions of this package installed: $ dpkg -S rst.el emacs24-el: /usr/share/emacs/24.4/lisp/textmodes/rst.el.gz emacs24-common: /usr/share/emacs/24.4/lisp/textmodes/rst.elc docutils-common: /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/rst.el That seems strange to me: shouldn't there be only one rst.el mode out there? I would understand if one would be a symlink to the other, or something similar, but they are actually distinct versions: $ diff -u /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/rst.el <(gunzip -c /usr/share/emacs/24.4/lisp/textmodes/rst.el.gz)| head --- /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/rst.el 2014-08-03 21:24:43.000000000 -0400 +++ /dev/fd/63 2016-10-13 11:34:54.258665200 -0400 @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ ;;; rst.el --- Mode for viewing and editing reStructuredText-documents. -;; Copyright (C) 2003-2012 Free Software Foundation, Inc. +;; Copyright (C) 2003-2014 Free Software Foundation, Inc. ;; Maintainer: Stefan Merten <smer...@oekonux.de> ;; Author: Stefan Merten <smer...@oekonux.de>, This leads me to believe the one shipped with this package is also outdated.
