Bug#905235: purge + install (not just upgrade) is broken
Just in case it's not obvious,
• emacs/testing & emacs-goodies/testing are installed
• purge emacs-goodies-el/testing
• install emacs-goodies-el/unstable
…has the same behaviour as
• emacs/testing & emacs-goodies/testing are installed
• upgrade emacs-goodies-el from /testing to /unstable
This seems to work though:
• emacs/testing & emacs-goodies/testing are installed
• purge emacs-goodies-el/testing
• delete /usr/share/emacs25/site-lisp/emacs-goodies-el
• install emacs-goodies-el/unstable
bash4$ dpkg-query -W emacs emacs25-lucid emacs-goodies-el
emacs 47.0
emacs-goodies-el
