You should add a pkg_postinst() function which tells the user that he needs to add some lines to his ~/.emacs file to get the Emacs support for xdvik working. "Add (add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/tex-utils")) and (require 'xdvi-search) to your ~/.emacs file"
fixed, as there was no reaction from maintainers for three months
Not really fixed, as the message is now (xdvik-22.84.10): * Add * (add-to-list 'load-path ("/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/tex-utils")) * (require 'xdvi-search) * to your ~/.emacs file The additional parenthesis (or respectively the missing expand-file-name, I'm no expert in emacs lisp) around the path are cause emacs to start up with an error message.

I've deleted the parentheses. We don't need expand-file-name since the path is already absolute and canonical. @ppc-macos: I've dropped your keyword from the package since repoman reported many unresolved dependencies.
really dropped ppc-macos keyword, moved to prefix.
