> _______________________________________________ > Pkg-emacsen-addons mailing list > pkg-emacsen-add...@lists.alioth.debian.org > https://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-emacsen-addons There, I was finally able to reproduce with: sudo apt purge yasnippet-snippets wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/y/yasnippet-snippets/yasnippet-snippets_0~git20150512-1_all.deb wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/y/yasnippet-snippets/yasnippet-snippets_0~git20161123-1_all.deb sudo dpkg -i yasnippet-snippets_0~git20150512-1_all.deb sudo dpkg -i yasnippet-snippets_0~git20161123-1_all.deb sudo apt upgrade # or sudo dpkg -i yasnippet-snippets_0~git20180307.2b4c4d7e-1_all.deb So affected users are those who track Debian sid (and who installed the 2015 version), plus Ubuntu users who installed xenial (16.04LTS) Well, that's all the time I have for today!
