Force apt to remove all emacs*
- by wishi
Hi!
I have a bug-problem with the apt-packages of emacs:
>>Error occurred processing debian-ispell.el: File error (("Opening input file" "no such file or directory" "/usr/share/emacs23/site-lisp/dictionaries-common/debian-ispell.el"))
>>Error occurred processing ispell.el: File error (("Opening input file" "no such file or directory" "/usr/share/emacs23/site-lisp/dictionaries-common/ispell.el"))
>>Error occurred processing flyspell.el: File error (("Opening input file" "no such file or directory" "/usr/share/emacs23/site-lisp/dictionaries-common/flyspell.el"))
emacs-install: /usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/dictionaries-common emacs23 failed at /usr/lib/emacsen-common/emacs-install line 28, <TSORT> line 30.
dpkg: error processing emacs23-lucid (--configure):
subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of emacs:
emacs depends on emacs23 | emacs23-lucid | emacs23-nox; however:
Package emacs23 is not installed.
Package emacs23-lucid which provides emacs23 is not configured yet.
Package emacs23-nox which provides emacs23 is not installed.
Package emacs23-lucid is not configured yet.
Package emacs23-nox is not installed.
dpkg: error processing emacs (--configure):
dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
No apport report written because the error message indicates its a followup error from a previous failure.
Errors were encountered while processing:
emacs23-lucid
emacs
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
In fact I would be satisfied with just emacs23-nox, a couple of plugins - from apt. But I can neither --purge nor --purge reinstall, nor remove the packages. It always processes until this certain bug.
I did some google-searching, found some stuff on Launchpad suggesting:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall --purge emacsen-common
But this is the same... so I hope there a way to tell app to just remove everything releated to emacs, and to start from scratch again?
Thanks,
Marius
