Public bug reported: Binary package hint: emacsen-common
Description: Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS Release: 10.04 This applies to a new desktop installation, rather than an upgrade, via cdrom (made from iso downloaded 22 Aug 2010) of Ubuntu 10.04.1. I have NOT seen this on two other machines where I upgraded to Ubuntu 10.04 from earlier versions of Ubuntu (once from 8.04 and once from 9.10). Installation of the package "emacsen-common" will not complete because, according to the message, at the configuration stage a call to install-info is improper. (It is unclear to me why install-info should have been called for "emacsen-common" installation.) "aptitude" output is appended below. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Errors were encountered while processing: emacsen-common emacs23-common emacs23-bin-common emacs23 E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) A package failed to install.
