Bug#51437: emacs20 installation fails
Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.6.1
Hello,
emacs20 (Version: 20.4-2) installation fails with the following error
install/dpkg-dev: Byte-compiling for emacs20
cp: debian-changelog-mode.el: No such file or directory
emacs-install: /usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/emacsen-common-install~ emacs20 failed at /usr/lib/emacsen-common/emacs-install line 28.
dpkg: error while cleaning up:
subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 29
Errors were encountered while processing:
/data/masik/debian/archives/emacs20_20.4-2_i386.deb
I believe the error is in the script
dpkg-dev: /usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/emacsen-common-install
which attemps to copy debian-changelog-mode.el from
ELDIR=/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/${PACKAGE}
files="debian-changelog-mode.el"
if [ ${FLAVOR} != emacs ]; then
echo install/${PACKAGE}: Byte-compiling for ${FLAVOR}
install -m 755 -d ${ELCDIR}
cd ${ELDIR}
cp ${files} ${ELCDIR}
debian-changelog-mode.el is in
dpkg-dev: /usr/share/dpkg/site-lisp/dpkg/debian-changelog-mode.el
Jiri
