[snip] Setting up aribas (1.53-1) ... ERROR: emacsen-common being used before being configured. ERROR: This is likely a bug in the aribas package, which needs to ERROR: add one of the appropriate dependencies. ERROR: See /usr/share/doc/emacsen-common/debian-emacs-policy.gz ERROR: for details. dpkg: error processing aribas (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2 The problem seems to be that aribas merely suggests emacsen, instead of depending on it. So when aribas package is being configured it tries to run /usr/lib/emacsen-common/emacs-package-install (belonging to emacsen-common), which at this point is not configured yet.
