Bug#905447: emacs-goodies-el fails to upgrade

[Russ Allbery <rra@debian.org>]

Package: emacs-goodies-el
Version: 40.0
Severity: important

Setting up emacs-goodies-el (40.0) ...
Install emacsen-common for emacs25
emacsen-common: Handling install of emacsen flavor emacs25
Install emacs-goodies-el for emacs25
install/emacs-goodies-el: Handling emacs25, logged in /tmp/elc_sbQgUN.log
Building autoloads for emacs25 in /usr/share/emacs25/site-lisp/emacs-goodies-el
ERROR: install script from emacs-goodies-el package failed
dpkg: error processing package emacs-goodies-el (--configure):
 installed emacs-goodies-el package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 emacs-goodies-el
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

This appears to be because the upgrade process left behind a ton of broken
symlinks in /usr/share/emacs25/site-lisp/emacs-goodies-el.  I deleted all
of the files in that directory and then the installation completed.

Filed as important rather than higher since I think this may be some edge
case that happened on my system rather than a universal problem, since I
haven't let the emacs25 -> emacs upgrade happen yet (waiting for auctex).
