Hmm. Maybe try "sudo apt-get remove emacsen-common" to clear it out.

Subject: [Fink-users] [PANTHER] Emacs 20 in a bad state...


I am using dselect to update to 10.3 but I ran in a pb with emacs 20 (which
I did not even remember installing)... that I cannot now remove... nor
reinstall...


Is there a way to force remove it or force reinstall it which can fix this
pb?


PS: I fixed my /sw/etc/apt/sources.list which now contains:

deb http://us.dl.sourceforge.net/fink/direct_download 10.3/release main

Thanks in advance,
