Subject: 24.0.50; Failed update dependencies Ubuntu Lucid
Date: Thu, 17 Jun 2010 19:28:23 -0700
The latest repository update from emacs.orebokech.com for Ubuntu Lucid
Links AMD64 failed to install, citing failed dependencies for modules
emacs-snapshot, emacs-snapshot-bin-common, emacs-snapshot-common, and 
emacs-snapshot-el.

Note that the version that I'm running was originally built from deb
src, but prior repository updates have installed without a problem.

The packages on http://emacs.orebokech.com/ are only for Debian
stable and testing/unstable. Ubuntu is not supported, the packages
may sometimes work depending on the delta between the two
distributions, but that's outside my control.

Also, please do not use M-x report-emacs-bug for packaging related
issues.

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

The cause of the failed dependencies was not in emacs itself, but in
ncurses. The Ubuntu Lucid "stable" distro older than the version
required by the package, which caused some strange behavior by dpkg:
Apparently emacs-gtk didn't care what version ncurses was, but the rest
of the packages did. So it updated gtk but not the rest. Requesting it
update the rest of the new emacs would cause everything else to be
deleted -- including installed extras such as AuCTeX.

While installing the development version of ncurses (I finally found a
repository) corrected this behavior and the latest snapshot is now fully
installed (without the removal of installed extras, thank you very
much!), this is still interesting behavior. I compiled the first
snapshot from src specifically to avoid having to use the development
version of ncurses, and prior snapshots updated just fine.
