I have 2 linux systems, and both had the same failure when I tried to
update packages:
Removing directory: Directory not empty, /usr/local/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages
Removing old files for package "tm" ...
Validating checksum for `tm'...
nonymous@ftp.xemacs.org:/pub/xemacs/packages/tm-1.17-pkg.tar.gz to
/tmp/...done
Restarting the update, it seemed to complete normally.
