I dont think it has installed or, if both Emacs packages can be installed at the same time, you're looking at the wrong one. > Has anyone updated debian recently and can advise on this please?

It reports itself as emacs-22.0.50.12 If you're not behind a firewall, you might prefer to get the most recent version directly from CVS (which really isn't much harder than downloading a tarball): cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/sources/emacs co emacs as described on http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=emacs Then read INSTALL.CVS in the emacs directory for further instructions. Once you've built Emacs you can keep updating to the new changes by doing: cvs up from the emacs directory and following INSTALL.CVS. This will also mean that you can submit up-to-date suggestions or patches to the emacs-devel mailing list. -- Nick http://www.inet.net.nz/~nickrob
