The symptoms seem to point to missing files. I have been speculating
that these might be caused by dpkg fsync problems. In any event, you
may be able to recover by purging, then reinstalling dictionaries-
common. As for the a2ps problem, purging a2ps should allow you to
install emacs23 and emacs-snapshot; you may possibly be able to
reinstall a2ps then, but this could be over-optimistic speculation on my
part.
I'm hesitant to reassign this to dictionaries-common and/or a2ps and/or
dpkg until we hear back from you. If you can report your dpkg version
here, that would be most helpful.
I'm setting the status of this bug report to Incomplete to signal that
we are expecting a followup from you. The status can be changed back to
New (or even Confirmed) once you supply the requested information.
Thanks in advance!
