>Description:

	The PLIST for the editors/emacs package includes "dangerous"
	@unexecs that will cause files which are not part of the emacs
	package to be deleted.

	(Otherwise I'm much more satisfied with the new and improved
	emacs-20.3 package!)

>How-To-Repeat:

	run "pkg_delete emacs-20.3", re-install emacs, and then wonder
	why the heck none of the local elisp packages work.

	luckily the only file I lost was my rather short and simple
	"default.el":

;; The real stuff is in /usr/local (unless installed here from a pkg)...
(setq local-site-lisp-dir "/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp")
(setq load-path (cons local-site-lisp-dir load-path))

(load-file (concat local-site-lisp-dir "/default.el"))

	otherwise I'd be a much less happy little camper....

	(Yeah, I've read all the warnings in the manual pages!)

>Fix:

	Apply the following patch:
