Ok. ... But I do not have multiple Source: lines. I do only have one, on
the first line. :(

No I do not think so.

Ok, thanx, then it will be replaces. :)
Can you (or anyone) take a look on the attached control file?
Is there anything wrong there? Yes I know it is quite big and a bit messy.
But it worked before I changed name from xemacs21 to gtk-xemacs21.

The reason is that I have used quite a lot of scripts from the xemacs package
and it will be quite messy to have that name. But if I just get it to
be packaged with gtk-xemacs as name I'll try to switch before I upload. :)

Description: Editor and kitchen sink
This package exists to cause the installation of the real gtk-xemacs packages.
.
This version will conflict with the xemacs21 package so
you have to choose between the two. That might change in the future but
right now it seems pretty hard to fix in some other way.

Description: Editor and kitchen sink -- Mule binary
This package contains the actual binary used to run XEmacs. It
depends on the gtk-xemacs21-support package for lisp and etc files, and
the gtk-xemacs21-bin package for supporting binaries. This binary has
been compiled with support for mule, but no input extensions.
.
This version will conflict with the xemacs21-mule package
so you have to choose between the two.
.
Mule is the extension to (x)emacs that allows for the display of
non-European characters (for example Japanese and Korean characters).
This version of the package is mainly useful for only the display and
reading of international characters. It does not have any mechanism
for entering non-European characters (see the gtk-xemacs21-mule-canna-wnn
package for that).
.
This package actually contains one of the three gtk-xemacs binaries
available. The other two are gtk-xemacs21-nomule and gtk-xemacs21-mule-canna-wnn.

Description: Editor and kitchen sink -- Non-mule binary
This package contains the actual binary used to run XEmacs. It
depends on the gtk-xemacs21-support package for lisp and etc files, and
the gtk-xemacs21-bin package for supporting binaries. This binary does
not have any of the mule stuff compiled into it. It should be faster
than the gtk-xemacs21-mule and gtk-xemacs21-mule-canna-wnn packages because
it does not contain the fairly large bit of code for either the
display or input of non-European characters.

Mule is an extension to (x)emacs that allows for the display and
input of non-European characters. This binary allows for input and
display whereas the gtk-xemacs21-mule package only does display.

Description: Editor and kitchen sink -- support binaries
A spinoff of the GNU Emacs editor with much better support for X
including multiple fonts within the same buffer and images within
buffers, but that doesn't even begin to describe the changes.

so you have to choose between the two.

XEmacs is a full fledged programming language with a mail reader,
news reader, info browser, web browser, calendar, specialized editor
for more programming languages and other formats than most people
encounter in a lifetime, and much much more.
.
After starting it up peruse the Help menu and read more on its
origins and what it can do.
.
You will need one of gtk-xemacs21-mule, gtk-xemacs21-nomule, or
gtk-xemacs21-mule-canna-wnn to actually run gtk-xemacs.
