================================================================ Dear Bug Team! I did M-x package-get and installed gnus. But then on starting gnus with M-x gnus, I got the error message "cannot open load file: %s: sha1" Installing the ecrypto package fixed it. Perhaps gnus should have an explicit dependency on ecrypto so that if you install gnus you are prompted to install ecrypto first. ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- OS version: Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] OS: Windows_NT XEmacs 21.4.19 "Constant Variable" configured for `i586-pc-win32'.
