xemacs-fsf-compat pkg has a PreReq: xemacs which IMHO is not correct since it doesn\'t use xemacs in (un)install-time scripts. In this situation, Requires would be enough. This make apt-0.5 fail on a command like: apt-get install xemacs-mule because of a PreDepend-loop. --- --- Other xemacs-* packages may have the same problem. I had a quick look through their install-time scripts: the use /usr/share/info/xemacs/dir, so they need only a PreReq on xemacsen, not on xemacs.
fixed in xemacs-fsf-compat-1.11-alt2
