But AFAICS this is not a bug in emacs which depends on emacs23 | emacs23-gtk | emacs23-nox. > This breaks my emacs in X, which isn't tragic (I can workaround it), but > is quite confusing!

It's probably not that the dependencies aren't installable (try "aptitude install emacs23" to find out -- it would have worked for me), but rather that aptitude chose a solution that does not involve installing additional packages (the emacs23 package has more dependencies than emacs22). BTW, how did you upgrade? I did with "aptitude safe-upgrade", it is possible that "aptitude full-upgrade" or "aptitude install emacs" would have had a different outcome. A final tip for you: install emacs23-gtk instead of emacs23, GTK+ is the preferred toolkit by upstream (see #539800).
