The attached DpkgTerminalLog.txt indicates a problem while removing emacs23. Your report states that installing it is not possible, either. The DpkgTerminalLog.txt seems truncated; do you have older versions of this file /var/log/dpkg/term.log.0 term.log.1.gz etc which you could upload? Or better yet, can you see if there are error messages pertaining to the installation or removal of emacs23 in there and submit only those, with a bit of surrounding context? Thanks!
