I built it by updating the Fedora Core 21.4.14 rpm to 21.4.15. 
Installation info attached.

Actually no, since the FC rpm package modifies find-paths so that the
etc directory is located under $prefix/share/xemacs-21.4.15. 
$prefix/share/xemacs-21.4.15/etc/package-index.LATEST.gpg exists though,
and I also tried copying it to
$prefix/lib/xemacs-21.4.15/etc/package-index.LATEST.gpg in case the
lib->share patch in the rpm would have been buggy or incomplete, but
that did not help.  The FC patch is attached just in case but I think
that's not the culprit.

Yep, that does not exist here.

Some other weirdness:

If run as root, I thought that the package index in $prefix would be
used.  Instead, starting up a fresh XEmacs and doing a
Tools->Packages->List and Install prompts asking whether one should be
created under ~/.xemacs.  Is that expected?

Ok, I haven't created the package index under root's ~/.xemacs.  Again,
fresh start of XEmacs, choose a download site, then the List and
Install: the above ~/.xemacs prompt does not happen.  Expected? 
Instead, after waiting for a while in the "Verifying..." step, I see
"Can't check signature: Public key 82EDF2C1D1DD84CD not found".

The package list is apparently signed with Norbert's key, and when I
import 0xD1DD84CD from pgp.mit.edu to root's keyring, I can verify the
package index manually using gpg.  However, PUI still won't work, that's
when I get the (invalid-argument "datum not string or error symbol"
process-error) from my previous mail.

I also tried to let XEmacs create the root's
~/.xemacs/package-index[...] but that resulted in the same "datum" error
as above after the "verifying" step.

How is the package index verification supposed to work?  Using stuff
from the mailcrypt package, right?  (That's where I found the
"Verifying..." string.)  Apparently yes, I tried debugging mc, and it
seemingly results in a BAD signature.  Results of the mc debug buffer
attached as well.

By the way, maybe it'd be a good idea to add Norbert's key to the
pgp-keys directory in ftp.xemacs.org.
