Comment 2 for bug 278807

This appears to be a race condition when emacsen-common and cmake are installed simultaneously. If cmake is configured first, an error occurs. if emacsen-common is configured first, it will probably work.

I believe that if we add emacsen-common to the list of dependencies for the cmake package, it should solve the problem.

Assuming emacsen-common is an optional dependency, is not a missing required dependency, and is being installed at the same time as cmake, is there any way to force emacsen-common to run its post-installation scripts first if emacsen-common is present and has not been configured?
