Bingo! That did it. As you suggested, I deleted rudel -- manually, since it was a manual add-on -- and then deleted sepia via Synaptic. Dpkg went into automatic configuration mode after the delete, of course (since the install had failed) but this time it completed successfully.
I have reinstalled rudel in the site-lisp directory (as opposed to emacs22 or emacs23). Hopefully it will live happily there and not screw up the install. So yes, this bug can be marked as a duplicate of #573602. Thanks for helping sort this out! =michael= -----Original Message----- From: era <era+launchpad....@iki.fi> Reply-to: Bug 581127 <581...@bugs.launchpad.net> To: mich...@vetl.org Subject: [Bug 581127] Re: package emacs23 23.1+1-4ubuntu7 failed to install/upgrade: Date: Tue, 25 May 2010 07:41:34 -0000 Also the sepia problem is known (bug #573602) so if you uninstall rudel and sepia and reinstall, you just might end up with a correctly installed emacs23.
