  xemacs-base     1.82   1.87   Fundamental XEmacs support, you almost 
certainly need this.

Works here.  The above is Ubuntu's XEmacs, according to the package manager.

No, I really don't want to know why the stock installation is newer

available version for whatever obscure reason, it would seem necessary
to work around this.

I hate the whole illogical XEmacs mess.  Going to fix that.
