Title:
  emacs24 while byte compiling will keep asking for a shared lib not
  existing in my system

Status in “emacs24” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I was running emacs24 on Precise 12.04 after an install from this ppa
  @ https://launchpad.net/~cassou/+archive/emacs

  Install worked fine. Until recently when installing new programs
  (SuperCollider) which were byte compiling for emacs24.

  For some mysterious reason at that time emacs24 was trying to open a
  shared library libgvc.so.6 which was never present in my system for a
  good reason : It will be on the soon to be released Trusty 14.04. The
  library is libgvc.so.6 which is part of a Graphviz package libgvc6. At
  that time I had subscribed to the GraphvizDev ppa @
  https://launchpad.net/~gviz-adm/+archive/graphviz-dev which later on
  forbid me to intall the package python-pygraphviz . Then I decided to
  remove this ppa and install Graphviz from the regular Precise 12.04
  repository for packages graphviz libcdt4 libgraphviz-dev  libcgraph5
  libgvc5. This later package libgvc5 contains the shared lib
  libgvc.so.5 . Here is the error message :

  [...]
  Install cmake-data for emacs24
  install/cmake-data: Byte-compiling for emacs24
  emacs24: error while loading shared libraries: libgvc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
  Install dictionaries-common for emacs24

  emacs24: error while loading shared libraries: libgvc.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
  ERROR: install script from dictionaries-common package failed

  Setting up emacs24-common-non-dfsg (24.3+1-1~ppa1~precise1) ...
  E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
  $

  I tried to remove alltogether Graphviz and cmake ... to no avail. Does
  anyone know why emacs24 keeps asking for this particular shared lib ?

  I tried to install the packages from Trusty 14.04 as well but didn't
  go far as it's a chain of broken dependencies.

  Whem removing emacs24 , the system re-install emacs23 and there is no
  problem in byte compiling all the installed apps. Why was it working
  for some days then suddenly asking for a non existent shared lib ? Can
  anyone sheds light on this ?

  Is there any workaround ?

  At the moment I returned to emacs23.
