Package: emacs21
Version: 21.1-7
Severity: important
I use cfengine to manage the servers at work. While installing either
emacs21 I get the following errors :-
cfengine:hermes: Selecting previously deselected package libpng2.

cfengine:hermes: Errors were encountered while processing:

cfengine:hermes: E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
Presuambly emacs21 is dependent upon a tty/pty which cfengine doesn't
have while running under cron, even though -batch is specified.
Sincerely,
Adrian Phillips

Looking at ancient bugs in emacsen-common.
This sit-for was removed on 1.4.16, although bug was not closed at that
time.
Closing bug report with the right version.
