Yep, saw that. Also saw that you didn't wait for my approval.
Naughty boy! Go sit in the corner!

Because your keyring already contained my key. It won't put the same

OK, I think I know what's going on.
Do this:
- delete, move or otherwise get rid of:
/usr/local/lib/xemacs-21.5-b3/etc/package-index.LATEST*
~/.xemacs/package-index.LATEST*
(so they don't get in our way)
- run xemacs -vanilla
(so we're on a clean slate)
- M-: (setq package-get-required-signed-base-updates t) RET
- Tools -> Packages -> Add Download Site -> Pre-Releases
- Tools -> Packages -> List and Install
How does that go?
