Bug Description
I got my emacs system unusable... so I un-installed and re-installed the whole emacs systems with a plethora of add-on packages.
I used synaptic for the installation. Before installing the packages, I had "geeked" emacs... and, finding that it could not start in graphics mode, I performed some "down-n-dirty" removal because synaptic was seeing evidence of it being installed (ignoring that it would only start in text mode)...
I finally got the system in a state of synaptic allowing me to install it. I used the "should not try this at work" technique of going into /var/lib/
