--- Begin Message ---Package: emacs24 Version: 24.3+1-4 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, I had some problems with assorted packages not properly installed so resorted to purging them (so as to be able to reinstall afresh); one of these was emacsen-common, so I was forced to also purge emacs23 and emacs24. During the uninstall, emacs23 and emacs24 failed to uninstall for reasons lost in the long pile of output from dpkg; when I told aptitude to try again, they failed due to their prerm scripts invoking /usr/lib/emacsen-common/emacs-remove from emacsen-common, which had already been uninstalled. It would seem emacs2[34] need to, in some way, record the dependency on emacsen-common at uninstall-time, so that emacsen-common doesn't get uninstalled until packages whose prerm scripts depend on it have gone first ! I don't know package-management well enough to even be sure apt/dpkg supports this, so this may need to spawn a feature request there ... Reinstalling emacsen-common so as to be able to uninstall emacs23 and emacs24 was counter-intuitive, but did at least work ! (The subsequent reinstall of everything and its dog also went smoothly, to my great relief.)
