I found some references to this in the July and August archives, but has no fix been found for the emacs19 & emacs20 packages? My apologies if there has been more recent discussion which I did not find in my search.
As far as I could tell, some people got them to install by removing certain other packages, specifically "tm". I have no such package installed but installation STILL fails with emacs19 and emacs20. I've done an essentially complete upgrade from bo to hamm, and ended up purging the old "emacs" to start afresh when I met with the initial errors. The error message is the following: emacs-install emacs19 emacsen-common: Handling install of emacsen flavor emacs19 emacsen-common: byte-compiling for emacs19 Warning: Lisp directory `/usr/local/share/emacs/19.34/site-lisp' does not exist. Warning: Lisp directory `/usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp' does not exist. Cannot open load file: bytecomp emacs-install: /usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/emacsen-common emacs19 xemacs20 failed at /usr/lib/emacsen-common/emacs-install line 26. dpkg: error processing emacs19 (--install): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 29 Errors were encountered while processing: emacs19 ...and similarly for emacs20. The lisp directory error seems to be irrelevant. The alternative solution from the archives, which I eventually resorted to, is installation of xemacs, but it seems more bulky than emacs and I use emacs typically in text mode anyway. Does anyone have a fix in the works? Or is there a list of conflicting packages which need to be upgraded or removed in order to do the installation? Thanks in advance for the help, David P.S. If responding to the Debian-user list, please cc me in response since I am not presently a subscriber, thanks.
