Odd problem with 21.0.63

This may be some weird FOTU thing. (That's Fluke Of The Universe.) I can't easily reproduce it and it may never happen to anyone ever again. I just built 21.0.63 on Digital UNIX 4.0D using DEC C. No problems seen during the build. I then updated packages and proceeded. When I started up XEmacs, I got an error that mime-setup was not found. I checked and I found all of the .el.gz files, but no .elcs. This is true of all files .els in the tm package. Since I had gziped all of the .el files, they were not loaded/executed. I then checked the tm-1.16-pkg.tar file. All .elcs were present. I also noticed that the tm-1.16-pkg.tar and tm-1.16-pkg.tar.gz files were still in my /tmp directory. I assume that this indicates something went wrong. I had already exited XEmacs and no longer have the package installation log. All I can think of is that the deletion of old files managed to delete the new .elcs. This only happened to the tm package. All others I installed were fine. Could something have been wrong with the MANIFEST.tm? I don't see anything obvious about it. I deleted the package and re-installed it. All .elcs were present. I'm stumped. R.
