Subject: Installation of emacs28 package fails

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I've uninstalled emacs package with Emacs 27.1 via sudo apt purge emacs
before installation of new Emacs
<https://launchpad.net/~kelleyk/+archive/ubuntu/emacs>. After that I've
done sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kelleyk/emacs && sudo apt update. At the
and I ran sudo apt install emacs28 and obtain the following error (Does it
mean that package is broken?):

Since this is not a problem we can fix in Emacs, I am closing this one.

Yes, looks like the package you are trying to install conflicts with
"emacs-common" but that package doesn't specify that.  I suggest to
contact the package author.  You could also try to uninstall all emacs
related packages before installing that one.

For anything else please ask for help in a help group (help-gnu-emacs,
or something about Ubuntu).

HTH,

Michael.

This isnʼt really an emacs issue, but I suspect if you do ʼsudo apt
autoremoveʼ before you try to install emacs-28 that the conflicting
emacs-common package will get uninstalled.

This is a bug in the Ubuntu package, and should be reported to Ubuntu.
Or, I guess it has something to do with "ppa:kelleyk/emacs", so contact
whoever is in charge of that.

In any case, this is not a bug in Emacs.  I'm therefore closing this bug
report.

You seem to be using the Ubuntu installation scripts, so please report
this to the folks that are preparing the Ubuntu Emacs packages.
That's not us.
