Here is the /tmp/emacs22.* log file when trying to re-install emacs22::

Seems similar to this issue

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/emacs22/+bug/281766

There are package install/remove for emacsen a2ps but no package. I moved /usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/a2ps and ../remove/a2ps and it looks like emacs is upgrading okay.

My guess is the emacsen a2ps package was automatically removed on an upgrade but the packages scripts were not removed.
