I have successfully installed emacs23 on a 10.04 and a 11.04 desktop machine; it's only on the server that I can't install any emacs. It's reproducible in the sense that I've purged all emacs packages and tried several times, each time the error occurs.
All Emacs packages have been purged: $ sudo dpkg -S /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/global global: /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/global $ fgrep -r site-lisp/global /var/lib/dpkg/info /var/lib/dpkg/info/global.list:/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/global /var/lib/dpkg/info/global.list:/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/global/gtags.el /var/lib/dpkg/info/global.md5sums:324f4cb278906b5a502745fa93a3e526 usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/global/gtags.el $ ls -l /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/global ls: cannot access /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/global: No such file or directory Install emacs23-nox and then ran these commands again: same output.
