   Attention: it's apt-file which gives correct answers. apt-cache
   gives nothing.
   All I need is to know in what package is the executable file
   gnuclient.xemacs21, in order to install it.
   If I get as extra information that this package also provides the man
   page, what is the problem?

    you said that the present version of wajig (Intrepid) is buggy. I tested
    that the previous one(Hardy) has the same problem.
