Public bug reported:

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

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.
