Followup-For: Bug #775733
Hi,
no longer building the transitional packages is not sufficient to fix
the hangs. But making the upgrade path deterministic by breaking the
circular dependency and ensuring the old transitional packages get
removed before the other xemacs21 packages are upgraded does the job.
Tested patch attached.
The removal probably does unregister something that otherwise causes
the hang ...
Andreas
