Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: cscope
I was installing the cscope package with Synaptic when it complained
about an error. From Synaptic's log (below), it appears that the error
is related to Emacs, possibly installing an Emacs front-end to cscope,
but that's just a guess.
I currently have these Emacs-related packages installed: emacs22-bin-
common, emacs22-common, emacs22-gtk, emacs23, emacsen-common, gnuserv,
xemacs21, xemacs21-basesupport, xemacs21-bin, xemacs21-mule,
xemacs21-mulesupport, xemacs21-nomule, xemacs21-support. I also have
XEmacs 21.4.22 and 21.5.31 installed from source. The 21.4 stuff is in
/usr/local and the 21.5 stuff is in /usr/new.
