As the subject says: arc-mode.el (in os-utils) provides the wrong symbol, which causes (require 'arc-mode) to fail. FSF Emacs provides both, with the comment that 'archive-mode is provided for compatibility with a historical, incorrect version.
This may be my first useful bug report to xemacs-beta for 13 years or so...

OK, I'll check. I still don't think it's likely to be very useful.

It's not. I'll see what I can do, but it may take a while. Debugging
mail problems sucks. :-)

OK, that makes sense, of a certain rather disgusting kind.

Python's Roundup seems to have this. Someday soon I'll see about
adding it.

Yes. There are still open tasks in that issue. They could be moved
to separate issues, but probably almost nobody but me cares how
tracker issues are organized.

Adrian's last comment was that the new behavior is arguably a
regression. It doesn't *need* to be open, but it probably is better
left open until somebody who can judge does judge.
On the bright side of all this, I've learned a bit about SQL. :-)
