I do not install GNU emacs, I do install Xemacs. Typically, I make one setup pass for "latest" and a second for "test" versions -- ugly but it seems the only way to get what I want.

In the "Partial" view, one (GNU) emacs entry shows a 'current' installation and proposes an update. However, there is no actual current installation. [See attached] Curiously, it will not give me an "uninstall" choice.




What does '/etc/setup/install.db' say?



OK, there was a line for emacs. I removed it.
Now there is no "current" revision level shown; however, Setup still proposes updating the package. It is also shown, correctly, on the "not installed" panel. This occurs both for "latest" and "test" selections.


While I was there, I added lines for gcc-core and gcc-testsuite so they no longer show as "not installed."
