emacs install fails under 18.10

Installing emacs under 18.10 (Cosmic Cuttlefish) fails



When I search for libotf, it is there:



locate libotf.so
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libotf.so


So why does fixing the install fail?

    Try this: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libotf.so /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libotf.so.0 and try again.
