I built xemacs 21.5 beta27 20070502 without trouble. I followed http://www.xemacs.org/Documentation/packageGuide.html#Installing_automati... and was stumped because mailcrypt has additionally mail-lib as dependancy. The error message was Cannot open load file: "rfc822" when trying to load mailcrypt directly and had an %s thrown in when the menubar was used to call the package "List and install" or "Update package list" funcitons. After I installed that the further package management worked like a charm. (for the first time after building a xemacs release. I blamed the ftp command line client for the former problems with the package management) The additional dependency should be documented.
