The steps I tried to reproduce this issue: * Install elpa-ess and emacs from Bookworm. * Install dh-elpa-helper from sid (version 2.1.7). * Add stable-backports to source list. * Upgrade emacs to the backport version using `apt install -t stable-backports emacs' And the upgrade was successful (tried 3 times with the same result). I guess you were trying to recover from a half configured state of dpkg/apt which could add a lot of uncertainty. Can you try to downgrade Emacs to the stable versions first, install dh-elpa-helper 2.1.7, and try to upgrade to the backports versions again? -- Regards, Xiyue Deng
