xemacs 21.4.22_11 load path shadows

[Eric Smith]

Dear all:

I have recently installed the port xemacs @21.4.22_11 on two different machines, and am having trouble with load path shadowing, which I don't find mentioned anywhere in either bug lists or mailing lists.

One machine is an older mini (mid 2011) running Lion, and this xemacs is an upgrade from 21.4.22_9.  All earlier versions are inactive, and I cannot activate them without forcing due to a ctags 5.8.2 dependency.

The other machine is a new (clean) 2015 macbook pro running El Capitan, on which this is the first set of macports installs, and the only copy of xemacs.   

The problem is the same on both machines, so I assume it is not due to a version overlap, or specific to either Lion or El Capitan.

The problem is that when opening any file, I now get a split window, announcing a set of warnings from Autoload, of the form 

(1) (warning/warning) Autoload error in: /opt/local/lib/xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/zenirc/auto-autoloads:
	Already loaded

(and 129 more for various other files)

These are explained in the xemacs FAQ Q 2.5.7 at 
http://www.xemacs.org/Documentation/21.5/html/xemacs-faq_3.html#SEC122
but not what to do about them.

If I give xemacs the command
M-x list-load-path-shadows
five load-path shadowings are reported as 

/opt/local/lib/xemacs-21.4.22/xemacs-packages/lisp/cedet-common/working hides /opt/local/lib/xemacs-21.4.22/xemacs-packages/lisp/semantic/working
/opt/local/lib/xemacs-21.4.22/xemacs-packages/lisp/cedet-common/sformat hides /opt/local/lib/xemacs-21.4.22/xemacs-packages/lisp/semantic/sformat
/opt/local/lib/xemacs-21.4.22/xemacs-packages/lisp/xemacs-base/easy-mmode hides /opt/local/lib/xemacs-21.4.22/lisp/easy-mmode
/opt/local/lib/xemacs-21.4.22/xemacs-packages/lisp/build/build-report hides /opt/local/lib/xemacs-21.4.22/lisp/build-report
/opt/local/lib/xemacs-21.4.22/xemacs-packages/lisp/apel/alist hides /opt/local/lib/xemacs-21.4.22/lisp/alist

Looking at each of these pairs, they are all normal files (not symlinks)

(plus .elc versions of the above files)

All properties of each of these files is identical on the two installations, so I assume that this problem is created locally by this port.

Sorry if this is a dumb question.  There must be vast numbers of users of this port, so I don't know why I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere.

Thanks for help,

Eric
