xemacs: ezimage not found

Since a few days, I try to install some packages related to xemacs (e.g. php-mode) with synaptic and I get the same error for those packages that fails:

Errors were encountered while processing:

php-mode E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) A package failed to install. Trying to recover: Setting up php-mode (0.1-1ubuntu1) ... install/php-mode: Handling install for emacsen flavor xemacs21 Compiling /usr/share/xemacs21/site-lisp/php-mode/php-mode.el... While compiling toplevel forms in file /usr/share/xemacs21/site-lisp/php-mode/php-mode.el: !! File error (("Cannot open load file" "ezimage"))

Error occurred processing php-mode.el: Cannot open load file: ezimage

I found the missing file (ezimage.el) on the net and I copied it in the directory that seemed to me the most appropriate (based on what already exists on my machine): /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/emacs-goodies-el/.

But when I try to reinstall the failing packages, I get the same error again.

So I wonder if one of you had that kind of error before? Or maybe is there a way to add a .el file in xemacs in order it takes it into account?

Btw I have Xemacs 21.4.21.

Thanks.

ezimage is in the emacs22-common package, which should have been installed with Xemacs as a dependency.

I will try to fix the dependency.

Is it normal that I need emacs22-... package while using xemacs21 ?

I've looked into it a bit more, and it seems like emacsXX-common is common files for emacsXX and emacsXX-nox, both of which are packages for GNU Emacs, not XEmacs. I guess I've always had GNU Emacs installed, which may be why I've never encountered your problem. I'd say try the emacs21-common package, then the emacs22-common package, and whether either works or not, file an Ubuntu bug report, since it seems like a packaging bug.

None of emacs21 nor emacs22 solved the problem. I filed a bug. Thanks.
