I'll test this tomorrow.


Relaxing the dependencies of jed-extra to just recommend jed|xjed seems the
right thing to me. However, if I have jed 0.99.16 and upgrade jed-extra
to 2.1, jed fails with

   # jed -batch
   loading /usr/share/jed/lib/site.slc
   loading /usr/share/jed/lib/os.sl
   loading /usr/share/jed/lib/menus.slc
   loading /etc/jed.conf
   loading /etc/jed-init.d/00debian.sl
   loading /etc/jed-init.d/05home-lib.sl
   loading /etc/jed-init.d/55ispell.sl
   loading /usr/src/sl_utils.sl
   S-Lang Error: Object not opened: Unable to load /usr/src/sl_utils.sl
   S-Lang Traceback: ispell_add_dictionary
   File: /etc/jed-init.d/55ispell.sl

i.e. the old config files 05home-lib.sl and 55ispell.sl in etc/jed-init.d
are not removed and make problems.

Rafael, could you add the necessary code to the install scripts so that 
jed-extra (2.1) removes 05home-lib.sl and 55ispell.sl (if unchanged) and
(if then empty) also etc/jed-init.d/ ?
