Package: xemacs21
Version: 2.4.17-1
I installed xemacs by typing apt-get install xemacs21 and choosing Yes.
When I press C-h i for Info, the minibuffer (status bar) shows "File not found
and directory write-protected" (yes, it says "and" instead of "or"), then the
message disappears and is replaced by something else for a millisecond or so,
then it comes back, then it shows "Composing main Info directory...done." Then
I see the main Info. I've pasted a copy of the main Info node (C-h i) and the
Xemacs21 node below. (Also notice the repeated "[No description available]"
text. I'm going to file another bug against xemacs regarding that.)
Bug part 1. Then I have to drill down into Xemacs21->Xemacs to get the main
Xemacs help. On my other PC I use Emacs, and don't have to. This necessity of
drilling-down is surprising, and
Bug part 2. the fact that Xemacs21 is not listed first in the main Info node
makes things annoying. The Info system otherwise works ok.
P.S. When I run xemacs as root, I don't get the "File not found and directory
write-protected", but "[No description available]", Bug part 1 and Bug part 2
still come up.
