Hi Christoph!

Cc:ing the slime-devel mailing list, since this is an upstream issue
(already reported, read below).  Please keep the Debian BTS as cc:ed (no
subscription requnired).

Please always set LANG=C when you provide logs, since it is difficult to
parse foreign languages ;-)

I can reproduce the bug on a clean cowbuilder chroot: first, I created
it for lenny, then installed slime together with xemacs21 and emacs22
(no errors).  After that I modified apt's sources.list to point to
testing:

This is the problem, specific to xemacs21 and not emacs22.  The problem
is in slime.el at line 69:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
  (require 'overlay))
(require 'easymenu)
(eval-when (compile)
  (require 'arc-mode)
  (require 'apropos)
  (require 'outline)
  (require 'etags))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This has already been reported upstream, see the discussion at

  http://common-lisp.net/pipermail/slime-devel/2008-October/015633.html

Since on Debian we byte-compile emacsen files at installation, I do not
know how to proceed here.

Is not this a bug in XEmacs?  I would say so and thus reassign the bug
to xemacs21.

Thx, bye,

I've run into this as well.  I agree that XEmacs's arc-mode.el really
ought to provide 'arc-mode either instead of or in addition to
'archive-mode.  Meanwhile, though, perhaps slime could invoke load
instead of require?:

   (load "arc-mode" nil t) ; load quietly, but non-existence is an error.
