I experienced the same thing. I forced installation with dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/emacs22-common-non- dfsg_<version>.deb
After this, neither `apt-get check' nor synaptic complained about inconsistencies or broken packages. -- emacs22-common-non-dfsg fails to install https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/151861 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
