two quick observations about the test packages.
*) the new ispell package does not work with aspell, an ispell replacement.
<
http://metalab.unc.edu/kevina/aspell/>. I have not investigated
much, it appears to start up then bomb out with an error 255. I'm
guessing some type of command line switch changed, but am not sure at
this point.
*) I did not update gnus, since I was running pgnus. But starting up
a new xemacs after updating packages caused a massive core dump. It
appears to have been related to the progress bar thing. I recompiled
with scrollbars and widgets = athena and the core dump went away.
which package changed to make pgnus use the progress bar thingie?
