This appears to be because the upgrade process left behind a ton of broken symlinks in /usr/share/emacs25/site-lisp/emacs-goodies-el. I deleted all of the files in that directory and then the installation completed. Filed as important rather than higher since I think this may be some edge case that happened on my system rather than a universal problem, since I haven't let the emacs25 -> emacs upgrade happen yet (waiting for auctex). -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.17.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages emacs-goodies-el depends on: ii bash 4.4.18-3.1 ii dpkg 1.19.0.5+b1 ii emacs25-lucid [emacsen] 25.2+1-6+b3 ii emacsen-common 2.0.8 ii install-info 6.5.0.dfsg.1-4 Versions of packages emacs-goodies-el recommends: pn elpa-apache-mode <none> pn elpa-bar-cursor <none> pn elpa-bm <none> pn elpa-boxquote <none> pn elpa-browse-kill-ring <none> pn elpa-csv-mode <none> ii elpa-debian-el 37.5 pn elpa-devscripts <none> pn elpa-diminish <none> ii elpa-dpkg-dev-el 37.4 pn elpa-eproject <none> pn elpa-graphviz-dot-mode <none> ii elpa-htmlize 1.53-1 pn elpa-initsplit <none> pn elpa-markdown-mode <none> pn elpa-pod-mode <none> pn elpa-session <none> pn elpa-tabbar <none> ii perl-doc 5.26.2-6 ii wget 1.19.5-1 emacs-goodies-el suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
