Re: problem with emacs in testing?
Hi again,
I've now uninstalled all emacs components and reinstalled them. I still
get a whole list of problems. I did find that the problem loading
"50a2ps" was related to the uninstalled package a2ps. Adding that
removed that particular error - does this mean the dependency list for
emacs21 is wrong? As you can see below I'm still getting errors relating
to ilisp, ess, slime, and now dictionaries-common as well. All these
packages are installed.
Can anyone confirm that the current emacs21 in testing is in fact
installable? If it is I've got a problem on my laptop. If not, there's a
problem in the repositories.
Thanks,
Tyler
