Title:
  package dictionaries-common 1.26.2 failed to install/upgrade:
  subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit
  status 1

Status in dictionaries-common package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Removing and reinstalling a faulty Emacs 24.5.1 caused this problem. I
  was unable to remove Emacs using Synaptic so went through folders
  manually. Compiled and installed Emacs from source myself, as it would
  not install via Synaptic or apt-get.

  Ubuntu 15.10

  Info from synaptic:
