messed up something

Hello, I recently moved from ubuntu and installed dagda, then brigantia, and first of all: a big THANK YOU to the developers of trisquel.
In this post, I ask for help because I think I messed up something.
The AUCTeX extension of emacs wasn't running properly, and I found out it had to do with some local configuration files.
So what I did was the following:
- removed all emacs packages (emacs, emacs23, emacsen etc.) using synaptic
- searched for all directories or files that remained after that, having "emacs" in their names.
- deleted most of them via terminal "sudo rm -r -I FILE/DIRECTORY"
- reinstalled emacs via synaptic.
I probably acted like a greenhorn.
Anyway, the re-install went ok, emacs is running (ACTeX not yet, but thats not an issue here). The install, however, gave me an error message.
sudo apt-get install emacs renders what I have attached in "emacs.txt"
synaptic says:
package "emacs" properties-> dependecies:
"requires: emacs23 | emacs23-lucid | emacs23 nox"
package "emacs23", properties -> dependencies:
"requires [long list of packages];
in conflict with: /emacs23-gtk/;
in conflict with: emacs-lucid;
in conflict with: emacs-nox;
replaces: /emacs23-gtk/;
replaces: emacs-lucid;
replaces: emacs-nox"
Here my questions: Is this a serious error that might make emacs crash in the future? I mean, it's my main editor I use, and for my dissertation, too. And, if it is serious, how can I fix it?
I'll be grateful for any help.
Best regards
Florian

It may be a problem with the emacs metapackage.
Either try:#with with GTK+ user interface sudo apt-get install emacs23or
#without X support sudo apt-get install emacs23-nox
Thanks very much for your swift reply!! on-the-fly, wow!
I found the error, however, when I re-read the error message: emacs and emacs23 were expecting a directory used by/for PSPP, as the pspp package was still installed. So what I did was: uninstall "pspp", re-install "emacs" and "emacs23". Now there is no error message anymore. The dependencies conflict in synaptics remained, also after I removed "emacs".
So I think the issue is solved, or would you bother about the conflicts?
Thanks again!
You know what, I'm of the opinion that if it works just go with it. But that is just personal choice. Sorry your log was a tad hard to read consider I don't speak that language (german?). Either way glad the issue is fixed.
Thank you, SirGrant.
Yes, it was German and I knew somebody might not understand, sorry.
I will leave it as is, because I think that as long as I haven't installed any of those packages "emacs23" is in conflict with, everything should be fine. And Emacs works, that's the main point.
