The attached DpkgTerminalLog.txt shows you installing emacs22 and emacs23 and emacs-snapshot and a bunch of packages, including cedet which is known to have issues with newer emacsen. I'm taking the liberty to close this bug as Invalid because there is so little to go on and apparently no way to figure out what really happened. If you think you can shed some more light on the problem, by all means feel free to reopen the bug report. Thanks for reporting this problem!
** Summary changed: - I tried a clean install of emacs23 and related packages all at once. Bad idea. Still cleaning out the debris.
