reopen 471975 retitle 471975 dependency on emacsen-common breaks upgrades severity 471975 serious notfixed 471975 2.6.0-2 found 471975 2.6.0-2 thanks
The fix in 2.6.0-2 has oposite effect and make things worse. Now cmake upgrade
surely fails if emacsen-common dependency was not installed on the system
before and get pulled in by cmake as dependency.
New installs are not affected neither are subsequent upgrade retries.
