emacs ubuntu依赖问题

Question

I was trying to install "gettext" package in Ubuntu 16.04, and it was interrupted in the middle. Since then, I have been getting the following errors whenever I run a sudo apt-get install command.

dpkg: error processing package emacs (--configure): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured No apport report written because the error message indicates it's a follow-up error from a previous failure. Errors were encountered while processing: emacs24 emacs

I tried to the broken package fixer available in the synaptic manager, and also tried executing sudo apt-get -f install . I also tried re-installing the emacs24 library, but ended up with the same error.

Can anyone assist me in fixing this issue?.

Thanks.

Before trying to re-install emacs24 , try doing this:

sudo apt-get purge emacs24  #removes configuration files as well
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get autoclean
