Different versions are typically not API compatible internally. We moved everything we could justify out to the packages, and there are persistent grumbles from developers that X Y or Z "needs" to be in core. You should need only one copy of the packages.

I've commented on that but I'm told David> it's a "normal" bug. This is _not_ normal. One possible cause is load-path shadows. M-x list-load-path-shadows. Another possibility is a package that contains a file that's also dumped into XEmacs. There may be others.

By "package download system" do you mean M-x list-packages or the netinstaller? -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Don't ask how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
