I am running Ubuntu 11.10 i386. I had faced the same problem when I had accidentally deleted /etc/emacs/site-start.d/00debian-vars.el. I tried installing emacs23 instead of emacs-snapshot, but it dint work. I tried installing dictionary-el package as @liuxhang1201 suggested, but even that dint work. I took a copy of the 00debian-vars.el file from my friend's system (running the same OS) and copied it to /etc/emacs/site-start.d and then tried installing emacs-snapshot, everything works fine now.
I am attaching the 00debian-vars.el file just in case somebody needs it. ** Attachment added: "00debian-vars.el" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/emacs-snapshot/+bug/673350/+attachment/2816003/+files/00debian-vars.el -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/673350 Title: Can't install emacs23 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/emacs-snapshot/+bug/673350/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
