But it's an EFS problem, isn't it? Strictly speaking, it's not a core XEmacs issue. Oscar> Apparently not, I get the same problem with a fresh Oscar> update/build from yesterday on Mandrake 7.1.

IIRC I had to update EFS to the most recent version to get package-ui working. It wasn't an XEmacs bug per se on my system as with updated EFS several versions of XEmacs that didn't work started working. The package-ui code was clearly correct; it was some workaround in EFS for broken ftpds that was going wrong. I still get the bogus attempts to cwd to the package list file, but then there is a cwd to the correct directory and the file is downloaded properly. -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ What are those straight lines for?
