problem with emacs in testing?
Hi,
I just upgraded my emacs21, among many other things, from the testing
repository. I get a long series of error messages, pasted below. Is this
something I've done wrong, or is there a problem in the repositories??
Emacs appears to open and work properly, but with a warning "cannot open
load file: slime". Auctex and reftex mode appear to work fine (thank
god, as I'm in the late stages of writing my dissertation!).
If this is just a normal hiccup in the repository I can go a few days
without slime, but if i've mucked something up please point me in the
right direction!
Thanks,
Tyler
