This bug report will be sent to the XEmacs Development Team,
not to your local site managers!!
Please write in English, because the XEmacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.
Please describe as succinctly as possible:
- What happened.
- What you thought should have happened.
- Precisely what you were doing at the time.
Please also include any C or lisp back-traces that you may have.
================================================================
Dear Bug Team!
I'd like to upgrade some packages, so I listed them (with
Tools|Packages|List and Install), selected a few, pressed x and
confirmed. It seems that the first selected package downloads and
installs OK, but then the process stops on "Invalid operation:
Selecting deleted or non-existent buffer" (see Recent messages
below - after the first failure, I restarted XEmacs and tried again,
making sure I wasn't selecting any buffers). I see no problem with the
download - as far as I can say, the package has been upgraded. XEmacs
shouldn't have any problem either.

If it's reproducible, please do
XEmacs <= 21.1
Options->General Options->Debug On Error
XEmacs >= 21.4
Options->Troubleshooting->Debug On Error
Provoke the error again
Send the *Backtrace* to xemacs-beta(a)xemacs.org.
I think these instructions should go into
M-x report-xemacs-bug

Not this time, we already know about it, and it's already fixed in
CVS. Thanks to Mike Alexander. :-)

Probably. Before I do that, what would be better to suggest? "Debug
On Error" or "Stack Trace On Error"?

Stack Trace. If they don't know how to use the debugger, don't put
them through that pain.

XEmacs 21.1.14 does not have that menu entry. It's called Debug on
Error there.
Please make sure the instructions work at least for current stable,
gamma, and beta.
