The attached patch fixes this. Will commit Thursday if nobody objects. 2007-08-07 Mike Sperber <mike(a)xemacs.org&gt; * setup-paths.el (paths-find-doc-directory): (paths-find-exec-directory): (paths-find-lisp-directory): (paths-find-mule-lisp-directory): (paths-construct-info-path): (paths-find-data-directory): * packages.el (packages-find-installation-package-directories): * find-paths.el (paths-for-each-emacs-directory): (paths-find-emacs-directories): (paths-find-emacs-directory): (paths-for-each-site-directory): (paths-find-site-directory): (paths-find-site-directories): (paths-for-each-version-directory): (paths-find-version-directories): (paths-find-version-directory): Generalize to multiple bases. (paths-find-architecture-directory): Use above to give roots precedence over bases. This means, for example, that a directory in an in-place root will always get precedence over an installed root.
