Bug#51919: dpkg-dev: emacsen-common-install has wrong path, prevents install of emacsen flavor



Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.6.1
Severity: important

(marked important since it might break emacs)

emacsen-common: Handling install of emacsen flavor xemacs21
emacsen-common: byte-compiling for xemacs21
[...]
install/dpkg-dev: Byte-compiling for xemacs21
/usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/emacsen-common-install: cd: /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/dpkg-dev: No such file or directory
emacs-install: /usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/emacsen-common-install xemacs21 emacs20 failed at /usr/lib/emacsen-common/emacs-install line 28.

[... some random emacs20 compilation error ...]
Wrote /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/gnuserv/gnuserv.elc
Done


The wrong path seemed to prevent some random emacsen-common bookkeeping which
would mark xemacs21 as installed, and so it seemed to be ignored.

The fix is simple (fix the offending script(s)), so no need for a patch (but I
might produce one later when I have some free time).
