Hello,

Thanks for the feedback, but please, mail to the bug address
[EMAIL PROTECTED], not directly to me (I will read that), so this
discussion is archived and more people can contribute.

It is safe, just seems that for unknown reasons (lack of disk space, memory
problems, who knows what ...) some packages were not properly installed.
That is extremely unusual and is usually related to a space/hardware
problem.

Unless the problem is widely extended (you will then experience more problems
of this kind with many other packages), I would just reinstall the packages
you notice are problematic. Checking the bug pages for those packages if the
bug persists is convenient, because might be something different, e.g.,

http://bugs.debian.org/xcdroast

Note that xcdroast had some problems with the cdrecord version check that I
think are fixed in unstable (but not yet propagated to testing)

This means that all debian-ispell.el, ispell.el and flyspell.el are now
available. I suppose you reinstalled dictionaries-common, otherwise we are
speaking about ghosts or a random temporary problem in your system.

# LANG=C dpkg-reconfigure emacs21

should now work as expected and leave your emacs fully useable. Please
complain if not. Otherwise I will close this bug report.
