PEBKAC :-)
Well, maybe.
Did you notice that you're installing something else, in addition to gnus?
The w3-el-e20 has the following dependancies (wrapped for ease of reading):
Depends: emacs20 (>= 20.7-0.1) | emacs20-dl (>= 20.7-0.1),
emacs20 (<= 20.7-100) | emacs20-dl (<= 20.7-100), mule-ucs
I suspect you will instead want the w3-el-e21 package, but I'm not sure if
that package works with gnus cleanly (the package Description and Suggests
fields both only refer to the -e20 one). It may mean that the integration
with w3-el only works in emacs20. That would be a shame, and perhaps a good
candidate for a wishlist bug. If not, it looks to be a small bug in the
gnus packaging: it should Suggest: w3-el-e20 | w3-el-21 (and have a similar
update to its description).
