Bug Description

Binary package hint: anjsp

Not sure, I was not consulted in this robotic decision to file a bug report. I was not permitted to witness the console debug screens as updates were applied, so I have no clue what went wrong or why. MAYBE it is time to STOP HIDING INFORMATION from users the way Microsoft hides information??? I have so far seen absolutely NO BENEFIT come to anyone as a result of HIDING things from the computer owner!!!@

The problem you are reporting is the result of an incompatibility between xemacs21 and the package anjsp. As a result, Ubuntu will no longer ship anjsp, as this long-standing problem has been a source of a constant trickle of bug reports. The only available remedy appears to be to remove the anjsp package, and/or upgrade to the latest release of Ubuntu once Natty (11.04) ships.

The diagnosis is available at the end of the attached DpkgTerminalLog.txt file. If you are capable of debugging such things, the Ubuntu wiki contains a wealth of information about filing, analyzing, and triaging Apport bug reports. Adding this information to the reporting tool seems implausible, although I suppose you could file a wishlist bug against Apport to, say, add a link to pertinent on-line documentation for the users who want to learn more.

My mandate as a volunteer bug handler is limited, but on the behalf of all of Ubuntu, I want to thank you for your patience and understanding.
