dpkg: error processing xemacs21-nomule (--configure)
Hi all,
i'm completely stumped: On two other machines (iP233MMX and AMD200) running
unstable installation of the most recent XEmacs from unstable works just
fine. But on a an i686 with 600MHz and 192MB RAM i repeatedly get the same
error message:

------------------------ snip ---------------------
This was after a "apt-get dist-upgrade" but i already had the very same
errors with a former XEmacs version before. :-/
The is the output of "strace dpkg --configure --pending" is too long to
attach, so i put it on "http://ntama.uni-mainz.de/~pseelig/typescript";.
