[Message part 3 (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.
