Hello Colin,

I'm not sure what happened, upgrading emacs actually removed emacs25
and half a dozen emacs elpa-* packages.
Or more likely i made a mistake in aptitude.

Sorry for wasting your time.
Thanks.

But 1:25.2+1-8 is in fact > 47.0, by the standard Debian version
comparison algorithm:

  $ dpkg --compare-versions 1:25.2+1-8 gt 47.0 && echo yes
  yes

So I think you need to go into quite a lot more detail about exactly
what is failing ...

Source: emacs
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

the move to version-free breaks many packages.
Maybe this is because 1:25.2+1-8 < 47.0.
Would you consider using a different version scheme so that all deps
recognise 1:25.2+1-8 being superior to 47.0 ?
