Thanks. How will the automatic upgrade work, though, if the existing package ‘elpa-magit’ version 2.2.2-3 always fails its pre-remove step? ===== $ sudo dpkg --remove elpa-magit magit (Reading database ... 736200 files and directories currently installed.) Removing magit (2.2.2-3) ... Removing elpa-magit (2.2.2-3) ... Remove elpa-magit for emacs24 remove/magit-2.2.2: Handling removal of emacsen flavor emacs24 dh-elpa: purging flavor specific files for emacs24 find: `/usr/share/emacs24/site-lisp/elpa/magit-2.2.2': No such file or directory ERROR: remove script from elpa-magit package failed dpkg: error processing package elpa-magit (--remove): subprocess installed pre-removal script returned error exit status 1 Errors were encountered while processing: elpa-magit $ ===== A manual work-around to upgrade this one package doesn't address the bug IMO, because there are doubtless some other ELPA packages with the same problem. Does this point to a bug in the ‘emacs24’ package in being unable to automatically handle upgrades of these packages in Debian built against an older ELPA? -- \ “It's easy to play any musical instrument: all you have to do | `\ is touch the right key at the right time and the instrument | _o__) will play itself.” —Johann Sebastian Bach | Ben Finney <b...@benfinney.id.au>
