It is: ===== $ dpkg-query --show elpa-magit emacs24 emacsen-common elpa-magit 2.2.2-3 emacs24 24.5+1-2 emacsen-common 2.0.8 ===== That's part of the problem, as I understand it. Emacs is only partly upgraded; when ‘emacs24’ tries to upgrade, it attempts to upgrade ‘elpa-magit’. When that fails, the system is left in an inconsistent state: ‘elpa-magit’ cannot move beyond 2.2.2-3, but ‘emacs24’ requires that before its upgrade is complete. Meanwhile ‘emacsen-common’ is already at version 2.0.8, which causes ‘elpa-magit’ to fail its pre-remove (whether version 2.2.2-3 or version 2.3.0-2). And around we go again :-) -- \ 德不孤、必有鄰。 (The virtuous are not abandoned, | `\ they shall surely have neighbours.) | _o__) —孔夫子 Confucius (551 BCE – 479 BCE) | Ben Finney <b...@benfinney.id.au>
