Package: ess
Version: 16.10-1
Severity: normal

  $ cat /var/log/apt/term.log

  install/ess: Handling install for emacsen flavor emacs21
  ERROR: install script from ess package failed
  dpkg: error processing package ess (--configure):
   subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

The reason for an error is a file:

  $ cat /usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/ess

  if [ ${FLAVOR} = emacs ]; then exit 0; fi

  if [ ${FLAVOR} = xemacs21 ]; then exit 0; fi

  if [ ${FLAVOR} = emacs22 ]; then exit 0; fi

  if [ ${FLAVOR} = emacs23 ]; then exit 0; fi

It's better to have:

  case ${FLAVOR} in xemacs*|emacs|emacs2[1-3]) exit 0;; esac

instead of those lines.

As you probably know that is an upstream decision.  The old ones are no
longer supported.

As such, this is not a bug but an upstream design issue. Talk to them.

(And as for emacs21: I don't think we had a package for that in, what, a 
decade?)

Sure. You could have emailed too. But thanks for the suggestion -- committed
to the ESS git now.
