It appears that the .xemacs19 extension is being used to make it easier to configure alternative versions of programs using /etc/alternatives. If this is the case then perhaps only the executable files in /usr/lib/xemacs-19.15/i386-debian-linux/ should be renamed with the .xemacs19 extension. -- Douglas Bates bates@stat.wisc.edu Statistics Department 608/262-2598 University of Wisconsin - Madison http://www.stat.wisc.edu/~bates/   Information forwarded to debian-bugs-dist@lists.debian.org, James LewisMoss <dres@scsn.net>:

However the xemacs executable expects them NOT to have this extension. This is true to ALL of these files, not just DOC-19.15p4-XEmacs. I see no point for these files having this extension, as this directory is version specific. A temporary(...) fix will be adding symlinks , for example using mmv: cd /usr/lib/xemacs-19.15/i386-debian-linux mmv -s "*.xemacs19" "#1" Thanks for your help.
