Package: cdargs Version: 1.35-5 Severity: normal Tags: patch
I believe this problem can be fixed by removing "emacsen-common" from the package dependencies. This package does not benefit anyhow from having emacsen installed (although the opposite is true). Furthermore, when upgrading/installing version 1.35-5 of this package on a stripped-down machine, it pulls down a whole load of stuff you probably don't want: # dpkg -l cdargs | grep cdargs ii cdargs 1.35-3 bookmarks and browsing for the cd command # apt-get install cdargs=1.35-5 Reading package lists...
