A common problem is that Emacs tries to find the machine's name at startup, and depending on your (mis)configuration, this may require access to the network and may hence fail with a timeout.

Re: problem with emacs in testing?
Hi again, I've now uninstalled all emacs components and reinstalled them. I still get a whole list of problems. I did find that the problem loading "50a2ps" was related to the uninstalled package a2ps. Adding that removed that particular error - does this mean the dependency list for emacs21 is wrong? As you can see below I'm still getting errors relating to ilisp, ess, slime, and now dictionaries-common as well. All these packages are installed. Can anyone confirm that the current emacs21 in testing is in fact installable? If it is I've got a problem on my laptop. If not, there's a problem in the repositories.

problem with emacs in testing?
Hi, I just upgraded my emacs21, among many other things, from the testing repository. I get a long series of error messages, pasted below. Is this something I've done wrong, or is there a problem in the repositories?? Emacs appears to open and work properly, but with a warning "cannot open load file: slime". Auctex and reftex mode appear to work fine (thank god, as I'm in the late stages of writing my dissertation!). If this is just a normal hiccup in the repository I can go a few days without slime, but if i've mucked something up please point me in the right direction!

dpkg problem with emacs packages
Hi. I've got two packages on my system that are "broken" I think... In deselect they appear like this: C** Std editors emacs19 C** Std editors emacsen-comm It seems I am stuck with these 2 packages. (What happened was that the bulk of the programs files were deleted from the /usr directory, and now it won't uninstall properly) When I try to reinstall or remove them I get errors (using dselect). I was wondering if there to force the removal of these packages? I checked out the help file for "dpkg --force-help" but it was confusing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!!
