 Hi! 
...
 It seems to me that package-index.2000-09-24 in
 /anonymous＠ftp.xemacs.org:/pub/xemacs/packages declares gnus-1.45-pkg.tar.gz
 as the latest version though package-index.2000-09-12 says it is
 gnus-1.50-pkg.tar.gz.  Something must have gone wrong somewhere. 
Not sure how that happened, but I'll fix it straight away, well in the
next 30 minutes at least. :)

...
 I have a couple of suggestions that would make living with xemacs
packages
 still a bit easier. 
...
 1) *Packages* buffer should highlight the packages for which the
installed
 version is newer than the latest version with an ugly color.  This would
 indicate the above-mentioned gnus version problem and other similar ones. 
Probably not a bad idea.  I'll put this on my todo list. 

...
 (We also seem to have idlwave 1.20 installed though 1.05 seems to be
the
 latest version...) 
That seems strange.  What is the author version? (4.2 is what is in CVS)
