This means that the packing shell command is not returning 0, for some
reason:
(if (zerop (call-process shell-file-name
nil nil nil shell-command-switch
(concat "cd " dir " ; " packer)))
(progn
(call-process shell-file-name nil nil nil shell-command-switch
(concat "cd " dir " ; rm " files))
(gnus-message 4 "Packing...done" packer))
(error "Couldn't pack packet."))))
Perhaps you use a wonky shell?
