#185002 — debian 9.1 dpkg error when installing xemacs and erlang

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

On a freshly installed debian 9.1, apt-get fails to install xemacs due to
some compilation related to erlang, here is the interesting part of log:

Compiling /usr/share/xemacs21/site-lisp/erlang/erldoc.el...

OK so it looks like it can't complete the build because the cl-lib 
component it needs is missing. 

A good guess would be that this file is in another package that isn't 
installed, that the package for xemacs assumes will be installed but 
which isn't in its dependencies. That would arguably be a bug, but even 
if it is a bug that doesn't help you much, you still need to navigate 
out of the situation you are in.

So here's how to determine where that cl-lib component is:

1. Install apt-file if you don't have it already.
2. sudo apt-file update
<you'll get a bunch of irrelevant output and it will take a minute or two>
3. apt-file search cl-lib

On my system the 3rd command produces:

aolserver4-doc: /usr/share/doc/aolserver4-doc/html/devel/tcl/tcl-libraries.html
emacs24-common: /usr/share/emacs/24.5/lisp/emacs-lisp/cl-lib.elc
emacs24-el: /usr/share/emacs/24.5/lisp/emacs-lisp/cl-lib.el.gz
emacs25-common: /usr/share/emacs/25.1/lisp/emacs-lisp/cl-lib.elc
emacs25-el: /usr/share/emacs/25.1/lisp/emacs-lisp/cl-lib.el.gz
maxima-src: /usr/share/maxima/5.38.1/src/numerical/f2cl-lib.lisp

aolserver4-doc and maxima-src are probably red herrings. You need one or 
more of emacs2{4,5}-{common,el} installed. I _think_ you are going to 
want to go either with the -24 or -25 series, not both, and if you held 
a gun to my head I would say it's probably the -el package rather than 
the -common package that you need, but that could easily be wrong. See 
which ones are not already installed on your system -- something that's 
already there isn't the missing package! :)

Hope that helps.

[Multipart message — attachments visible in raw view] — view raw

Hi Mark,
After running:
apt-get install emacs25-el

I get another error:

While compiling erlang-edoc-xml-context in file
/usr/share/xemacs21/site-lisp/erlang/erlang-edoc.el:
  !! File error (("Cannot open load file" "xmltok"))

According to apt-file, xmltok is in emacs25-el and should be already
installed:

emacs25-common: /usr/share/emacs/25.1/lisp/nxml/xmltok.elc
emacs25-el: /usr/share/emacs/25.1/lisp/nxml/xmltok.el.gz

Cheers,
Remy

What about emacs25-common?
