I'm going quite crazy here. Trying to install (well reinstall!) emacs here on my 10.10 meerkat.
I've tried installing emacs23 and emacs-snapshot and keep getting dependency errors during the install. I just tried dpkg --configure -a and that spews a bunch of errors and the suggestion that I report an error ... of course I have no idea to whom to report!
Here's the last dpkg stuff:
bob$ sudo dpkg --configure -a
Setting up emacs-snapshot (1:20090909-1) ...
Byte-compiling add-on packages, please wait... failed.
!! Byte-compilation for emacs-snapshot failed!

Driving me nuts !!
I've tried removing all the emacs packages and then installing again. No difference.
Hope someone can help.
