hexl-find-file => void get-coding-system

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! Background: ----------- os => Red Hat Linux release 7.1 (Seawolf) Kernel 2.4.2-2 on an i686 The Problem: ------------ M-x hexl-find-file produces the error Symbol's function definition is void: get-coding-system --------------------- *Backtrace* --------------------- Signaling: (void-function get-coding-system) get-coding-system(binary) find-file("~/.profile" binary) hexl-find-file("~/.profile") call-interactively(hexl-find-file) command-execute(hexl-find-file t) execute-extended-command(nil) call-interactively(execute-extended-command) ------------------------------------------------------- Miscellany: ----------- o The bug exists also when I run xemacs -q. o It's my understanding that hexl.el (for editing binaries in hex dump format) is part of the xemacs-packages distribution. (I've used it for at least a decade, since long before the XEmacs distribution took its present form.) It's definitely located in my xemacs-packages tree. I have not used it in quite a while, perhaps a year. It has never failed before now. o I do note that it is not listed from Tools => Packages => List and Install. I guessed it's contained within the text-modes package, so just updated that and started a fresh XEmacs. The bug remains. o The only reference I can find to get-coding-system in all the elisp files is in coding.el, which says this: (defalias 'check-coding-system 'get-coding-system) I find no direct reference to check-coding-system in hexl.el. I can't track it any further. o I tried posting this problem on comp.emacs.xemacs but no one responded. I do hope this is the right place to report such things. o I was a beta tester for XEmacs a long time ago, but have been out of the loop for several years.
