The following reply was made to PR bin/57466; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Bram Moolenaar <Bram@moolenaar.net> To: "Bruce A.

I have no idea what the side effects will be, I'm not going to take a risk on a stable system. In other words: Why isn't the right version of expat installed when it's needed? Version conflicts should be dealt with, not result in an error message. - Bram -- hundred-and-one symptoms of being an internet addict: 68.
