[Bug: 21.5-b15] Cannot install eterm package

================================================================ Dear Bug Team! As part of my ongoing struggle with JDE, I tried to install eterm (through the package buffer), but when I select eterm and press x, I get an error "Invalid operation: Invalid package type". I tried the US XEmacs server and a mirror, and couldn't get eterm from either of them. Another package (edit-utils, which I already had an old version of) installed OK (well, I got an error "Already loaded", but at least it downloaded). I think eterm should install, or the error message should explain why it doesn't.
