I reproduce this bug.
I have xemacs installed :
iU xemacs21 21.4.22-3.2ubuntu2
all highly customizable text editor
ii xemacs21-basesupport 2009.02.17.dfsg.1-1
all Editor and kitchen sink -- compiled elisp support files
iU xemacs21-bin 21.4.22-3.2ubuntu2
amd64 highly customizable text editor -- support binaries
iU xemacs21-mule 21.4.22-3.2ubuntu2
amd64 highly customizable text editor -- Mule binary
ii xemacs21-mulesupport 2009.02.17.dfsg.1-1
all Editor and kitchen sink -- Mule elisp support files
iU xemacs21-support 21.4.22-3.2ubuntu2
all highly customizable text editor -- architecture
independent support files
This issue is indeed related to xemacs :
WARNING:
Couldn't find obvious defaults for:
data-directory
mule-lisp-directory
lisp-directory
Perhaps some directories don't exist, or the XEmacs executable,
/usr/bin/xemacs21
is in a strange place?
So I tried to remove xemacs, but it's not so easy...
In the end, I had to remove xemacs AND emacs, and reinstall emacs (can't
live without it :-) )
Here are the commands I had to use :
#----- xemacs removal
sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/xem*prerm /tmp
sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq xemacs21 xemacs21-basesupport
xemacs21-bin xemacs21-mule xemacs21-mulesupport xemacs21-support
sudo dpkg --purge --force-remove-reinstreq xemacs21 xemacs21-basesupport
xemacs21-bin xemacs21-mule xemacs21-mulesupport xemacs21-support
#----- emacs removal
sudo mv /var/lib/dpkg/info/em*prerm /tmp
sudo dpkg --remove --force-remove-reinstreq emacsen-common dictionaries-common
ienglish-common iamerican ispell emacs23-common aspell emacs23-bin-common
gnuserv hyphen-en-us wfrench aspell-en emacs23
sudo dpkg --purge --force-remove-reinstreq emacsen-common ienglish-common
iamerican ispell emacs23-common aspell emacs23-bin-common gnuserv hyphen-en-us
aspell-en emacs23
Then sudo dpkg --configure -a works like a charm.
Please note that I use a french distro, so you may not have some of my
packages...
Hope it helps.

Title:
emacs depencies broken after upgrade to ubunutu 12.10
Status in “emacs23” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Due to broken dependecies nigther the:
apt-get update / apt-get upgrade
synaptic
the ubunutu software center
are usable.
sudo dpkg --configure -a
as recommended as bugfix by (I think Synaptic) is broken either.
See below. Similar errors were visible during the upgrade to ubunutu 12.10.
Note:
The erlang mode of Emacs is not working.
-> Fatal error.
