Emacs installation in Ubuntu (2)

I used a method in China before, but I think this method is simpler and more direct and contributes.

You need to enable both universe & multiverse in/etc/APT/sources. List. From a prompt, run

Code:

sudo nano -Bw /etc/apt/sources.list

Then, remove the # In front of all the lines with Deb at the beginning. save and exit with <Ctrl> O and <Ctrl> X. now, see if you can install Emacs again.

Code:

sudo aptitude updatesudo aptitude install emacs
