Package: a2ps
Version: 1:4.13b-4.3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unupgradeable

(I hope the severity is appropriate; it's not exactly hard to fix the
problem but clearly something needs to be fixed)

When doing a "apt-get dist-upgrade" (from version 1:4.13b-4)
I got the following error

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of a2ps:
 a2ps depends on emacsen-common; however:
   Package emacsen-common is not configured yet.
   dpkg: error processing a2ps (--configure):
    dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
    
re-running "apt-get dist-upgrade" fixed things.
emacsen-common was upgraded from 1.4.15 -> 1.4.16

This is likely, at least as far as someone looking 10 years after the
fact can say that with any confidence… it is at least more unlikely that
anyone can reproduce this anymore, so I am closing in the hope that in
the meantime this was fixed somehow – but if this can still be
reproduced feel free to reopen!
