This issue is indeed related to xemacs :
WARNING:
Couldn't find obvious defaults for:
data-directory
mule-lisp-directory
lisp-directory
Perhaps some directories don't exist, or the XEmacs executable,
/usr/bin/xemacs21
is in a strange place?
So I tried to remove xemacs, but it's not so easy...
In the end, I had to remove xemacs AND emacs, and reinstall emacs (can't live without it :-) )
I reproduce this bug.
I have xemacs installed :

Here are the commands I had to use :

sudo dpkg --purge --force- remove- reinstreq emacsen-common ienglish-common iamerican ispell emacs23-common aspell emacs23-bin-common gnuserv hyphen-en-us aspell-en emacs23
Then sudo dpkg --configure -a works like a charm.
Please note that I use a french distro, so you may not have some of my packages...
Hope it helps.
