Package: auctex
Version: 9.9p-13
Severity: normal

Hello,

the auctex package steadfastly refuses to install when emacs19,
emacs20 or mule2 isn't there. I could not even get it installed by
overriding dependencies in dselect with 'Q'.

However, I want to use auctex with XEmacs. Contrary to what the docs
say, XEmacs does benefit from auctex: When auctex is installed and you
made auctex the default (La)TeX mode, then viewing a LaTeX document
will result in two additional menu bar entries, "Command" and "LaTeX".

AFAICT, the solution appears to be either to make auctex "or-depend"
on xemacs, or to include the auctex menus in xemacs, or to split them
out to some kind of "auctex-common" package.

BTW, I cannot install both emacs and xemacs due to lack of disc space.

Cheers,

  Richard
