• sudo apt install emacs works well, but some packages downloaded with melpa might be more recent and cause bugs. For the February 2024 installation I made, apt was giving me emacs 27.1, while I needed version 28 to make auctex work. I thus installed emacs from the repo:
• sudo apt remove --autoremove emacs emacs-common
• sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kelleyk/emacs
• sudo apt update
• sudo apt emacs28
• Remove everything within ~/.emacs.d/, except lisp and init.el.

11. To use the 64 bit version, install libxp6 (Debian package included in the directory $idlib): sudo dpkg -i libxp6_1.0.2-1ubuntu1_amd64.deb
12. Add in the .bashrc:
    • only if LD_LIBRARY_PATH is empty: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib

3. sudo systemctl disable puppet

5. sudo do-release upgrade
6. Accept the default variables at each prompt.

In general avoid snap. It is always better to install the deb from the repository if there is a problem with apt.
