Yes. I now have the situation where some packages (‘org-mode’, for example) are uninstallable while ‘emacs21’ is installed. I want to remove ‘emacs21’, but ‘gnus’ requires it; and there is no indication that the package is obsoleted by ‘emacs22’. If the ‘gnus’ package is obsoleted by the ‘emacs22’ package, please release a new ‘gnus’ package that makes this clear so we can remove ‘emacs21’. -- \ “There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their | `\ home.” —Ken Olson, president, chairman and founder of Digital | _o__) Equipment Corp., 1977 | Ben Finney <b...@benfinney.id.au>
