I can confirm the bug report by Eric, I saw it too -- and just uninstalled
emacs23 on the affected system.
Something more robust would be nice. Can you take a look and see why/how it
fails? Is there elisp code requiring emacs24?
In that case I could specify it in the package metadata and it simply would
not install for emacs23 (but that is a blunt tool...)
