So as I see it there are at least three cases here:
The install is accidentally broken.

What's the appropriate procdure when dupload fails? Can I just

My 2 cents.
A package that's unconfigured is unconfigured. It makes no sense for
apt or anything else to assume that a package foo-2.1-4 is providing
the functionality that another package, bar, that "Depends: foo (>=
2.1-4)" needs.
Making such an assumption is just asking for trouble. Knowing

Hi,
try running the following simple program:
#include
void main(void)
{
FILE *fp;
fp = fopen("file.txt", "r");
fclose(fp);
fclose(fp);
}
You'll see that it generates a segmentation fault and dumps core in
libc's code.

You should just include the .el file, without bytecompiling, in
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp//
If there's code you want every user to run on startup.
you can create a file in
/etc/emacs/site-start.d/
ideally it should only contain autoloads.
