Bug#742426: slime: package update fails

[Thorsten Bonow]

Package: slime
Version: 2:2.4-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

updating to the newest version of the slime package failed with the
messages attached below. Downgrading to cl-swank_20130626-1_all.deb and
slime_20130626-1_all.deb worked. 

One more thing: I'm using emacs24-lucid and slime complains---the
package recommends emacs24 (>= 24.3) | emacs-snapshot |
xemacs21. What's wrong with lucid? Does slime really requires
something toolkit specific? It works for me with lucid.

Thanks for your support.

Toto
