debian speakup emacs upgrade

[Tony Baechler]

Hi,

Rather than complaining about dpkg, why not either use the reportbug 
command or look at the BTS?  There is no reason why people here should 
be reading about your dpkg troubles when such discussion should go to 
the bug tracking system or a Debian mailing list.  I've been quiet about 
the last few messages you posted about dpkg and Emacs being broken, but 
I am tired of reading about why apparently you can't report a bug or at 
least look and see if a bug report is already opened.  The chances are 
that Debian is aware of the problem and it will be fixed.  I've seen at 
least one major dpkg upgrade recently announced on the 
debian-devel-announce list.  Also, if you're going to run known unstable 
software, that's the chance you take.  Things will break for no reason 
as you're clearly warned if you read about the Debian releases.  I had 
the apt-listchanges package break on my system, but other than that, 
I've had no problems with Debian unstable.  You really should be 
reporting bugs against the Emacs or dpkg packages.  I don't run Emacs 
and haven't tried to upgrade it, but I've had no problem upgrading gcc 
and most other packages.
