Binary package hint: yaml-mode

Application failed to install during synapic installation of other emacs packages being installed on system.
I have no further notes due to inexperience with linux, and the absence of scripting and programming experience.

Sorry if my feedback is poor/lacking. It cannot be helped due to my lack of knowledge with linux and programming languages.
