Here is the sequence of events: - apel/wheezy is configured: it does not byte-compile, apparently because emacsen-common/wheezy is not yet configured - emacsen-common/wheezy is configured: it does *not* byte-compile apel - devscripts-el/wheezy is configured: it crashes, because it cannot find mcharset.elc (which belongs to apel) I see only two possible solutions: - either force apel to be configured *after* emacsen-common: only a direct dependency apel->emacsen-common can achieve that, and this seems against the spirit of the recent changes to emacsen-common; so this solution seems excluded - or have emacsen-common's postinst byte-compile all add-ons that are already configured but not yet byte-compiled; I don't know if the fact that this does not actually happen here is a bug in emacsen-common or in apel. What is your stance on this? -- .''`. Sébastien Villemot : :' : Debian Developer `. `' http://www.dynare.org/sebastien `- GPG Key: 4096R/381A7594
