Okay, I will do.  I'll also upload new (SuSE) RPMs
(auctex-emacs-11.82-1.suse.noarch.rpm and auctex-11.82-2.suse.src.rpm)
without the bogus preview directory.

It should also be possible to use the auctex-11.82-?.suse.src.rpm.

Isn't this more or less a cosmetic issue?  FWIW, SuSE uses
"emacs-auctex" for their AUCTeX package.

BTW, in http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.auctex.devel/
(<news:address@hidden>) you have posted some patch for
auctex.spec containing ...

%package emacs-tetex
%package emacs-anytex
%package xemacs-tetex
%package xemacs-anytex
%package preview-tetex

I tried a little bit to figure out how it's supposed to work, but I
failed.

Sounds reasonable.

Bye, Reiner.
