Re: "package-get-update-all" problem

Steve Youngs writes: Well, the important thing is never give up trying (and searching) ;) Sexist jokes aside, I should have known better and include a bug report. Anyway, after some long strides and with a tip from Andy Piper (thanks Andy !) I discovered that EFS was not working properly. To keep a long story short, here's the synopsis, just for the record. I was on a Linux/Mandrake8.2. For some oculte reasons (see above, chciken entrials and virgins stuff ;)), in their imense wisdom they decied to "enhance" the good ol' ftp w/ some kerberos feats, which apparently made EFS choke. That problem was automagically fixed when adding an old ftp binary in the system + setting the efs var appropriately. So, you're magic skills worked somehow :) Anyway, that's past, and now I'm on to two new problems: 1) Toolbar visibility Since I honest-to-God HATE the guts of that toolbar I normally (used to) have it disabled with smth like this in my ~/.emacs: [...] (set-specifier default-toolbar-visible-p nil) [...] The only problem is that in 21.4.8 this leaves a misterious bogus extra window around (??). Any idea ? (yes, yes: the configure script output + proper bug report incl. at the rest of this lengthy mail ;) 2) Most serious: MIME autodecoed in VM problems Even if I complied in support for most image types (GIF/JPG/PNG/TIFF) even the most basic types (e.g. a GIF attachemnt) are NOT displayed by VM anylonger. ( I used to do it w/, among many other VM settings: [..] (require 'mime-setup) (setq mime-editor/split-message nil) (setq vm-display-using-mime t vm-send-using-mime t vm-auto-decode-mime-messages t vm-auto-displayed-mime-content-types t) [..] ) Another synopsis are that 1) w3 is apparently broken and each time I exit I'm asked to save the "stylesheet" file and 2) I cannot display HTML tagged mails anylonger Any vodoo ideas ? With many thanks (at least for reading this far!) Florian (painfully remembering why he upgrades xemacs only each 2 yrs or so) P.S.
