I should of posted the workaround on my original post for other readers. Install emacs, then as a separate install transaction install cmake.
e.g. apt-get install emacs apt-get install cmake OR apt-get install cmake DON'T apt-get install emacs cmake A suboptimal solution is to make cmake depend on emacs. However, cmake does not require emacs to work and emacs is a fairly large dependency. My proposed solution is as follows: separate cmake into two packages: cmake (with emacs specific files removed) emacs-cmake which depends on emacsen-common -- package cmake 2.6.0-4ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/278807 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
