xemacs: just a bit porky

Playing with my new PC:

# apt-get install xemacs21
...
The following NEW packages will be installed:
xemacs21 xemacs21-basesupport xemacs21-bin xemacs21-mule
xemacs21-mulesupport xemacs21-support
0 upgraded, 6 newly installed, 0 to remove and 21 not upgraded
Need to get 33.6MB of archives.
After unpacking 106MB of additional disk space will be used

Choke, choke. xemacs needs 106 MB of disk space?

  1. Mark about 13 hours later:

    Well, an editor shouldn’t need 106MB, but an operating system might, and XEmacs seems to be pretending to be the latter.
