Package: emacs-snapshot Version: 1:20070208-1 Severity: normal With the latest emacs-snapshot, it looks like the process goes into an infinite loop. Eventually, installation has to be interrupted manually. Looking at the /tmp/emacs-snapshot.* file indicates the build process was compiling VM (vm-19-11). There are no obvious errors in the log file.
Removing VM allowed the emacs-snapshot upgrade to complete successfully. Attempted to reinstall VM after emacs-snapshot was installed, but again, the build process appears to go into an infinite loop and had to be manually interrupted. No obvious error messages shown. Output from aptitude shown below. If I get time, I will try building VM manually and see if that gives any clue to the problem. If it does, I will add it to this report. regards, Tim Setting up vm (7.19-11) ... install/vm: Ignoring emacsen flavor emacs. install/vm: Byte-compiling for emacs-snapshot...emacs-package-install: /usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/vm emacs-snapshot emacs-snapshot emacs21 failed at /usr/lib/emacsen-common/emacs-package-install line 30, <TSORT> line 1. dpkg: error processing vm (--configure): subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 255 Errors were encountered while processing: vm E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) A package failed to install.
