Bug Description
Binary package hint: emacsen-common
I have recently updgraded from Karmic to Lucid, and this error pops up from time to time when I update the system. Not sure what caused it, and the system brought me here. It is more an irritant, and if you feel its not worthy of a bug fix, then then exclamation mark notification of a system error which asked me if I wanted to help is the culprit!

Unclear what could have caused this. My hunch is that this would be more likely to be a dpkg / aptitude / synaptic problem than an Emacs problem. Can you please reply back with the output of ls -l /var/lib/ dpkg/info/ emacs*
Was there a disk full condition at any point when you tried to install Emacs?
