Hi Sorry if I didn't keep my eyes open. The following workaround worked:
1. sudo aptitude install emacsen-common <It barfs about not being able to install xemacs21 flavor> 2. sudo /usr/lib/emacsen-common/emacs-remove xemacs21 <It says it purged byte-compiled files for flavour xemacs21> 3. sudo aptitude install emacsen-common <Should install without any issue, except without the xemacs21 flavor> Many thanks to Kumar Appaiah for guiding me through this.
