This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.
Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.
In GNU Emacs 21.2.1 (i386-redhat-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)
of 2002-04-08 on porky.devel.redhat.com

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
On upgrading to Emacs 21.2.1 (I think as part of an upgrade to Red Hat
7.3 GNU/Linux from 7.2--it's not my system so I'm not sure how this
upgrade happened), I find my copy of calc.el that I installed earlier
has stopped working. Pressing any digit key (like "3") produces the
error message "[bad format]". Anyone encountered this already?
It's possible that it's some kind of local problem, or something
already known that there's a fix for. I haven't tried reinstalling
calc.el or checking whether there's a new version.

Look at the PROBLEMS file included with emacs (you can see it by typing
`C-h C-e'); I think there's a patch for calc in there.
BTW, calc comes with emacs in the next non-bug-fix release (21.4).

The patch in the PROBLEMS file only fixes some minuscule superficial
problems, but there are several rather severe bugs left in place.
If you want to use calc under Emacs-21, I strongly recommend getting
the calc subdirectory from CVS. I know of no prepackaged version that
would be working adequately.
