Actually, now it seems like the problem in this case is that cvs-pcl currently has a dependency on emacsen-common rather than emacsen. This means that it's possible to have cvs-pcl installed with emacsen-common, but without *any* flavor of emacs. This is not something I had anticipated when developing the emacs add-on code, so I'm not surprised it breaks things. While I don't know exactly what's causing the problem, it seems that installing cvs-pcl along with (or after) a flavor of emacs works fine. Given that, changing cvs-pcl's dependency from emacsen-common to emacsen should fix the problem. Accordingly I've filed important bugs against the three packages that had this problem. > Since you're unfamiliar with pkg-order, it sounds like starting to use > it could be a source of other problems. I'd rather avoid that. Actually, Manoj pointed out that I should probably just use tsort, though I haven't figured out yet whether you can actually call dpkg --status or use the perl dpkg modules from within a postinst (i.e. recursive dpkg entry). Anyway, I think that the dependency changes will fix our current problem, and given that, I think that the dependency code should wait for slink. I would like to upload a new version of emacsen common for frozen that makes the add-on package dependency issue explicit.
