--- Begin Message ---Package: debhelper Version: 9.20131127 Severity: normal File: /usr/share/debhelper/autoscripts/postinst-emacsen dh_installemacsen adds to a lisp add-on if [ "$1" = "configure" ] && [ -e /var/lib/emacsen-common/state/package/installed/emacsen-common ] then /usr/lib/emacsen-common/emacs-package-install --postinst #PACKAGE# But for me this means the package does not byte compile on install because I have no such file /var/lib/emacsen-common/state/package/installed/emacsen-common. I thought the postinst would test for the script it's about to run, ie. test /usr/lib/emacsen-common/emacs-package-install and if it exists then run it. I see /usr/share/doc/emacsen-common/debian-emacs-policy.gz says /var/lib/emacsen-common/state/package/installed/emacsen-common as a guard, but it doesn't seem to work. In any case I might hope that if debhelper checked just /usr/lib/emacsen-common/emacs-package-install the way it has done up to now then a newly built package can still work on an earlier emacsen-common too. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_AU.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages debhelper depends on: ii binutils 2.23.90.20131017-1 ii dpkg 1.17.1 ii dpkg-dev 1.17.1 ii file 1:5.14-2 ii man-db 2.6.5-2 ii perl 5.18.1-4 ii po-debconf 1.0.16+nmu2 debhelper recommends no packages.

--- Begin Message ---Ah dear, something went wrong in emacsen-common upgrade it seems, so it didn't create the /var/lib file it was supposed to. I wonder what it was.
