Package: emacsen-common
Version: 2.0.5
Severity: grave
I get this trying to upgrade from 2.0.3 to 2.0.5:
Setting up emacsen-common (2.0.5) ...
Install emacsen-common for emacs23
emacsen-common: Handling install of emacsen flavor emacs23

Fun stuff:

So yeah, this is a symlink pointing to itself... Not sure how I managed
that one, but I don't remember messing around with those files. Here are
the recent changes to the emacs* directories according to etckeeper:

It looks like I may have created the 'emacs23' symlink 4 months ago - I
suspect something broke back then and this was the workaround I found.
But it still seems to me this package should recover from such a
configuration...
