Title:
emacs24 while byte compiling will keep asking for a shared lib not
existing in my system
Status in “emacs24” package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
I was running emacs24 on Precise 12.04 after an install from this ppa
@ https://launchpad.net/~cassou/+archive/emacs
Install worked fine. Until recently when installing new programs
(SuperCollider) which were byte compiling for emacs24.
For some mysterious reason at that time emacs24 was trying to open a
shared library libgvc.so.6 which was never present in my system for a
good reason : It will be on the soon to be released Trusty 14.04. The
library is libgvc.so.6 which is part of a Graphviz package libgvc6. At
that time I had subscribed to the GraphvizDev ppa @
https://launchpad.net/~gviz-adm/+archive/graphviz-dev which later on
forbid me to intall the package python-pygraphviz . Then I decided to
remove this ppa and install Graphviz from the regular Precise 12.04
repository for packages graphviz libcdt4 libgraphviz-dev libcgraph5
libgvc5. This later package libgvc5 contains the shared lib
libgvc.so.5 . Here is the error message :
[...]

I tried to remove alltogether Graphviz and cmake ... to no avail. Does
anyone know why emacs24 keeps asking for this particular shared lib ?
I tried to install the packages from Trusty 14.04 as well but didn't
go far as it's a chain of broken dependencies.
Whem removing emacs24 , the system re-install emacs23 and there is no
problem in byte compiling all the installed apps. Why was it working
for some days then suddenly asking for a non existent shared lib ? Can
anyone sheds light on this ?
Is there any workaround ?
At the moment I returned to emacs23.
