The actual problem in the supplied log file is this: Install devscripts-el for emacs24 install/devscripts-el: Handling emacs24, logged in /tmp/elc_839UV3.log ERROR: install script from devscripts-el package failed dpkg: error processing package emacs24 (--configure):
Someone needs to post the contents of /tmp/elc_839UV3.log. I'm going to guess that this is bug#1369333. In any case, it's a problem with devscripts-el rather than with Emacs. (Well, it's a long-standing bug in the packaging of Emacs on Debian/Ubuntu that problems byte-compiling installed add-on Emacs lisp packages causes the installation of Emacs itself to abort, and frequently end up getting reported as Emacs bugs rather against the correct package.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1381606 Title: package emacs24 24.3+1-4ubuntu1 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/emacs24/+bug/1381606/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
