Guess what? You're right. :-(
Ok, I checked old mailcrypt versions and found that the remove script
failed to clean /usr/share/emacs/*/site-lisp/mailcrypt/CompilationLog.gz
for versions 3.5.4-5 and 3.5.5-{1,2,3,4}, while former and later
versions are safe (a typo somehow slipped through in those versions).
The time window is 1999-10-12 through 1999-12-12 (exactly two months).
According to their changelog.Debian, the relevant emacs{19,20} version
that were around at that time are:
emacs19: 19.34-21
emacs20: from 20.3-11 to 20.4-3
Thus, I guess I only need to clean:
>----------------------------------------------------------------------<
/usr/share/emacs/19.34/site-lisp/mailcrypt/CompilationLog.gz
/usr/share/emacs/20.3/site-lisp/mailcrypt/CompilationLog.gz
/usr/share/emacs/20.4/site-lisp/mailcrypt/CompilationLog.gz
>----------------------------------------------------------------------<
Is it ok if I clean that old cruft in
/usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/remove/mailcrypt?
Are there any suggestion on the best way to do it? (My plan is rm -f
those_files.)
BTW: It seems to me that the current emacs20 installs its
.../doc/emacs20 stuff only in /usr/doc/emacs20, with no compatibility
links. Well, I'm not sure, but on my system I have:
>----------------------------------------------------------------------<
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Aug 1 2000 /usr/doc/emacs20
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 1024 Oct 15 1999 /usr/share/doc/emacs20
>----------------------------------------------------------------------<
(look at the dates as well).
Thanks,
