Maybe this is how > you installed 6.x packages, by accidentally installing via a > "packages-stable" directory that was symlinked to "packages-6-stable"? Not that I know of - maybe. I'm working with that system for over a week now and I'm not very experienced with it yet, doing a lot of reading in the handbook and google to get it running as I need it. I do a pkg_add -r package-name to install my stuff or a make install clean in /usr/ports/and/so/on (which is far more often the case since I did a portupgrade) -- I did a cvsup with a supfile from the examples and can't remember or see anything that points at 6.x-releases. I just hope that everything gets fixed now with your advice. > A version of xemacs 21.5 is in editors/xemacs-devel. good to know - I will try that :) Niels
