Hi!

Having done a system update today, I've now run into this, too:

(Beware that I'm not at all familiar with Debian Emacs packaging...)  I'm
working around this by putting "0" into new file
"/usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/compat/bbdb" (to silence the "ERROR:
bbdb is broken"), "sudo mv /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/bbdb
/usr/share/bbdb", in "/usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/bbdb" and
"/usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/remove/bbdb" changing "ELDIR" to
"/usr/share/${PACKAGE}" and disabling the plain "emacs" "FLAVOR" cases
(so that the "*" catch-all one will execute), and running "sudo
dpkg-reconfigure bbdb".  That seems to do the job.

Oh, and "sudo aptitude hold bbdb" so that I'll get a chance to undo that
(in particular, "rm -r /usr/share/bbdb /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/bbdb")
once a fixed version becomes available.


Grüße
 Thomas
