Bug Description
Release was 12.04 LTS, now reports 14.05.1 LTS
Using 'automatic' release update through Muon Update Manager
Expected clean upgrade, encountered problems with the upgrade of the xemacs21 package.
Attempting to upgrade Kubuntu 12.04LTS to Kubuntu 14.04LTS 32-bit virtual machine leads to error installing emacsen-common. The remainder of the Xemacs installation then fails. Requires a forced uninstall of all (x)emacs components after upgrade, followed by re-installation of emacsen-common, followed by installation of the remainder of the xemacs21 package. Has happened on two systems - one using Oracle VirtualBox 4.3.12 on a Windows 7 Home edition 64-bit host, one using VirtualBox 4.3.14 on an Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS 64-bit host.
I think the problem may be in the internal dependencies of the xemacs21 package, but I only encountered the issue during the 12.04 - 14.04 upgrade.
