[Bug 278807] Re: package cmake 2.6.0-4ubuntu2 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 2

[A. Eibach]

OK, I could at least fix my issue by a VERY dirty hack:

$ cd /var/lib/emacsen-common/state

Since the 'package' directory does not exist, let's symlink to it so the
installation script will find the stuff it needs:

$ sudo ln -s package flavor
Password:

$

Now it will install. (at least) ... though not without a hiccup:

/usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/cmake-data: 26: /usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/cmake-data: cmake-data: not found
Install cmake-data for dictionaries-common
install/cmake-data: Byte-compiling for dictionaries-common
/usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/cmake-data: 26: /usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/cmake-data: dictionaries-common: not found
Install cmake-data for emacsen-common
install/cmake-data: Byte-compiling for emacsen-common
/usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/cmake-data: 26: /usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/cmake-data: emacsen-common: not found
Setting up cmake (2.8.12.2-0ubuntu6) ...

At least I *think* one can live with that solution for the time being,
since without my hack, cmake-data will NOT INSTALL AT ALL.
