Re: autoup.sh + deselect broke emacs
i had the same thing happen and i had selected to upgrade emacs to
20.xx...made a mess. it was the only really broken package.
had been wanting to check out xemacs so ended up purging emacs and
installing xemacs-20.whatever and like it. anyway, suspect you will need
to purge emacs and do a clean install. i had to abandon dselect and use
dpkg to remove emacs, then ftp'd xemacs packages and used dpkg to
install them.
