It seems that the emacs-19.31.tgz package found in the 2.1.5-Packages
depends on the shaired libvrary libgcc.261.0, which doesn't seem to be
there in the 2.1.5 release (in /usr/lib).  Instead, there's
libgcc.so.1.1, and that doesn't make it happy.

Copying the former file from the 2.1.0 release (probably the builder
did an in-place upgrade?) fixes it, but this should perhaps be fixed.

Also, I intermittently (more often than not) get the message 
"Warning: no access to {\tt (Inappropriate ioctl for device).
Thus no job control in this shell."
when I launch a shell within emacs-19.31.  This was also true with
emacs-19.30 on the 2.1.0 release.  I doubt it's an emacs bug, because
sometimes it works with no problem, but I wondered if anyone had had
any encounter of the same thing?
