[Glenn Morris (rgm+lp)]

Your actual problem seems to be:

   Install ess for emacs24
   install/ess: Handling install for emacsen flavor emacs24
   Illegal option -m
   Usage: install [<option>...] [<path>]
   Install exercism client to <path>. Default:

which if anything would be a bug in the "ess" package, not Emacs. But it seems that somehow when your system tries to invoke "install" it ends up executing what seems to be http://cli.exercism.io/install, an "install" script for an "exercism" client.
Perhaps you have saved that install script to somewhere in your PATH, where it is going to cause all kinds of problems.
Try removing it.

Closing as "Invalid", as there is nothing Ubuntu can do if users install third-party utilities which replace or shadow crucial system binaries.
