Bug Description

Binary package hint: emacs-snapshot

I had to manually install w3m-el and quack-el to get emacs-snapshot-gtk to install.

Before installing w3m-el and quack-el:

$ sudo aptitude install emacs-snapshot-gtk

You're misreading the output of the installation process -- the problem is that quack-el needs to depend on w3m-el.

I can guarantee that emacs-snapshot does not need to depend on either w3m-el or quack-el.

I just upgraded to Edgy yesterday, and found that a bunch of packages had been "orphaned" (like gnumeric), where dpkg didn't remember that the binary was installed. Perhaps quack-el was in an odd state of having .el's lying around and emacs-install picking it up?

Nevertheless, I could not get the Edgy version of emacs-snapshot-gtk to load vc-svn.el, so I upgraded to a backport.

In Emacs 22, vc-svn.el is now built-in, you don't have to do anything to load it. It should kick in automatically every time you open a file controlled by SVN.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
