Re: Bug#65320: gettext: fails on postinst

[Santiago Vila <sanvila@unex.es>]

Hello.

I have re-read the logs for this bug from the beginning, and I see
that I have been wrongly assuming (sorry!) that a Depends: emacsen-common in
gettext would force the user to install some emacs flavour, but in fact
emacsen-common just says:

Depends: bsdmainutils

Just in case I'm missing anything: Am I right that it's completely
possible to install emacsen-common and not installing any emacs flavour?

[ emacsen-common is a relatively small package. Making gettext to
depend on it, even if you don't plan to use emacs po-mode at all,
would not be such a tragedy ].
