package conflict
Using unstable distribution installing bsdgames and emacs does not work
completely successfully. It's either one package or the other but not
both on the same machine. Probably both packages dependencies need
updating on the debian repositories so that whenever one is installed it
automatically uninstalls the other package. dpkg can't get a lock on
/var/lock/dpkg/ when you try to install both of these packages and this
happens in the install phase when dictionaries-common gets contacted and
asked to do some work.
