Bug#583857: ess: Upgrade to 5.9.1-1 fails

Tue Jun 1 15:51:56 CEST 2010

Hi ess-debian,

This bug report came in yesterday. It desribes an issue with xemacs21.  I
have to admit that I haven't had XEmacs installed in few years. Could one of
you elisp chumps take a look and see if the bug report is valid, if there is
a workaround etc pp?

Thanks, Dirk
