It's just telling you that it can't retrieve the list of bugs related to that package. That's because the "feature" is currently disabled. Just hit "y" and continue with your bug report. The list of bugs related to a package can be retrieved from bugs.devuan.org > ..edb is broken too, and breaks emacs25 installs if present. > emacs25 installs fine, once you remove edb. > I'll tell you something incredible: you are not the only Devuan user, and not all Emacs users in ASCII want emacs25. edb might break emacs25 but does not break emacs24. The breakage here comes from the Debian emacs team, who tried to do three things in one go and managed to do less than one. Your bug report should better be submitted there, if you want it to be useful. We don't have a team of 20 people in charge of packaging emacs and emacs-related stuff, unfortunately...
