Why? MacOSX is Unix based (via BSD) and CUPS is supposed to be common to all

I see what you mean. I must assume that the other packages have

I see emacs24 and xemacs21 in jessie. Nothing in between. I don't
fully understand the differences between emacs and xemacs;
I'm running Jessie with the standard repositories and emacs from 21 on
are available. Have you looked?

Hi,
(sorry, the following is getting lengthy)
although I never used it myself, I think I found a bug in apticron.
I am using a snippet from apticron in a custom script to create a list of
upgradable packages and noticed that sometimes the number of packages

you have enabled the Deb Multimedia repo. Which is not part of Debian.
Now you have two options:
