IMHO the real problem is there's still a lot of work to othogonalize
the packages.
They can never be fully orthogonal. We need run time dependencies at
some point. We also need to learn the package-get code about other
package sources.
FYI: the error went away closing the session and restarting, so I
assume that installing a package (mail-lib) in a running xemacs is
somewhat different from having it available at startup (problems with
auto-autoloads??).
Yes. It is an auto-autoloads problem. These things are _very_ hard to
fix_ when you want to do runtime installation of packages.
# ./configure --with-mule --prefix=/opt/xemacs --compiler=egcc
--error-checking=none --debug=no --gung-ho
shouldn't that cure all beta-lowness?
Yes.

P.S. You do not want to give lazy-lock a spin. I was asking because
the XEmacs version of it is very suboptimal and can lead to the kind
of weird behaviour you mentioned.
