Ah, silly me. I've now installed dh-elpa-helper 2.1.7 from testing (I forgot to mention in the previous message that dh-elpa 2.1.7, and now dh-elpa-helper as well, install fine on stable+backports without pulling in any extra dependencies). It seems to get past the previous problem, but now breaks while trying to replace a file with a dir, like this: ------------------------------ install/ess-18.10.3snapshot: byte-compiling for emacs cp: cannot overwrite non-directory './etc' with directory '/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa-src/ess-18.10.3snapshot/etc' ERROR: install script from elpa-ess package failed dpkg: error processing package emacs-gtk (--configure): installed emacs-gtk package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1 ------------------------------ Full log of `dpkg --configure --pending` output attached.
