Package: xemacs21-mule
Version: 21.4.20-3
Hi,
when dist-upgrading my system today I got:
# dpkg --configure -a
Setting up xemacs21-mule (21.4.20-3) ...
emacs-install xemacs21
install/a2ps: Handling install for emacsen flavor xemacs21
xemacs21: error while loading shared libraries: libncurses.so.4: cannot
open shared object file: No such file or directory
emacs-install: /usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/a2ps xemacs21
failed at /usr/lib/emacsen-common/emacs-install line 28, <TSORT> line 3.
dpkg: error processing xemacs21-mule (--configure):
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 127
Errors were encountered while processing:
xemacs21-mule
# apt-file search libncurses.so.4
libncurses4: lib/libncurses.so.4
libncurses4: lib/libncurses.so.4.2
Thus I also installed libncurses4, and Suddenly Everything Worked Fine.
Not sure whether the libncurses4 dependency is about xemacs21-mule or
xemacs21 package proper, though (the install script invokes xemacs21,
and that one fails!).
OTOH xemacs21-mule does have a libncurses5 dependency registered
already (why would xemacs21 then need libncurses4, too??):
# dpkg -s xemacs21-mule
Package: xemacs21-mule
Status: install ok installed
Priority: optional
Section: editors
Installed-Size: 5844
Maintainer: OHURA Makoto <[email protected]>
Architecture: i386
Source: xemacs21
Version: 21.4.20-3
Provides: emacsen, info-browser, mail-reader, news-reader, www-browser,
xemacs21
Depends: xemacs21-support (= 21.4.20-3), xemacs21-bin (= 21.4.20-3),
libc6 (>= 2.6.1-1), libcompfaceg1, libdb4.6, libgpmg1 (>= 1.19.6-1),
libice6 (>= 1:1.0.0), libjpeg62, libldap2 (>= 2.1.17-1), libncurses5 (>=
5.6+20071006-3), libpng12-0 (>= 1.2.13-4), libsm6, libtiff4, libx11-6,
libxaw7, libxext6, libxmu6, libxpm4, libxt6, xemacs21-mulesupport (>=
2003.04.23-1), xemacs21-basesupport (>= 2003.04.23-1), emacsen-common
, thus this might point to a local system inconsistency?
Or probably more like a packaging issue (those packages should probably
all depend on libncurses5, and on libncurses5 only!).
xemacs21 package version is 21.4.20-3, too.
Thanks,
Andreas Mohr
