Same problem here, except the problem occured on my upgrading to ubuntu 12.04 (from oneiric). As I have two computers with fairly similar systems, and upgraded only one to Precise, I've been able to do some comparing, and here's what I found :
- on the computer with Oneiric, the xemacs lisp-directory (resp. data- directory, mule-lisp-directory) are /usr/lib/xemacs-21.4.22/lisp/ (resp. ..../etc/, ..../lisp/mule) - on the computer I upgraded to Precise, the corresponding folders (with the exact same contents) are located in /usr/share (for instance /usr/share/xemacs-21.4.22/lisp). It seems this is the reason xemacs -- and the configuration script -- can't find them. The following naive fix worked : I created two symlinks in /usr/lib/xemacs-21.4.22/ pointing to the correct locations : cd /usr/lib/xemacs-21.4.22/ sudo ln -s /usr/share/xemacs-21.4.22/lisp lisp sudo ln -s /usr/share/xemacs-21.4.22/etc etc Now both sudo dpkg --configure -a and xemacs itself work properly. I hope this helps to trace the source of the bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1069209 Title: emacs depencies broken after upgrade to ubunutu 12.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xemacs21/+bug/1069209/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
