Bug Description
The current update to dpkg is held up for me by emacs. If I try to force dpkg to install, it wants to remove emacs. If I try to install both:
$ sudo apt-get install dpkg emacs
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
emacs is already the newest version.
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
dpkg: Breaks: emacs22 (<= 22.3+1-1)
E: Broken packages
I have emacs 22.2-0ubuntu3. dpkg wants to go from 1.15.3.1ubuntu1 to 1.15.4ubuntu1

The most recent update to my Kubuntu Karmic AMD64 installation simply removed emacs22. It can't be reinstalled without removing tons of essential core packages. emacs22-nox or emacs22-gtk can't be installed, either. Basically, there is no emacs for the latest Karmic. This emacs user considers this an extremely serious bug.
