Package: xemacs21-mule Version: 21.4.20-3 Hi,
when dist-upgrading my system today I got: # dpkg --configure -a Setting up xemacs21-mule (21.4.20-3) ... emacs-install xemacs21 install/a2ps: Handling install for emacsen flavor xemacs21 xemacs21: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory emacs-install: /usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/a2ps xemacs21 failed at /usr/lib/emacsen-common/emacs-install line 28, <TSORT> line 3. dpkg: error processing xemacs21-mule (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 127 Errors were encountered while processing: xemacs21-mule # apt-file search libncurses.so.4 libncurses4: lib/libncurses.so.4 libncurses4: lib/libncurses.so.4.2 Thus I also installed libncurses4, and Suddenly Everything Worked Fine. Not sure whether the libncurses4 dependency is about xemacs21-mule or xemacs21 package proper, though (the install script invokes xemacs21, and that one fails!). OTOH xemacs21-mule does have a libncurses5 dependency registered already (why would xemacs21 then need libncurses4, too??): # dpkg -s xemacs21-mule Package: xemacs21-mule Status: install ok installed Priority: optional Section: editors Installed-Size: 5844 Maintainer: OHURA Makoto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Source: xemacs21 Version: 21.4.20-3 Provides: emacsen, info-browser, mail-reader, news-reader, www-browser, xemacs21 Depends: xemacs21-support (= 21.4.20-3), xemacs21-bin (= 21.4.20-3), libc6 (>= 2.6.1-1), libcompfaceg1, libdb4.6, libgpmg1 (>= 1.19.6-1), libice6 (>= 1:1.0.0), libjpeg62, libldap2 (>= 2.1.17-1), libncurses5 (>= 5.6+20071006-3), libpng12-0 (>= 1.2.13-4), libsm6, libtiff4, libx11-6, libxaw7, libxext6, libxmu6, libxpm4, libxt6, xemacs21-mulesupport (>= 2003.04.23-1), xemacs21-basesupport (>= 2003.04.23-1), emacsen-common , thus this might point to a local system inconsistency? Or probably more like a packaging issue (those packages should probably all depend on libncurses5, and on libncurses5 only!). xemacs21 package version is 21.4.20-3, too.
