I try to remove Emacs 26 in order to install 27, but in Ubuntu Software Updater i cant remove the software. There are no errors shown, when i remove it.

When i check on the command line it is showing: emacs version 26

I just want to update to emacs 27, but of course it is not possible with 26.

  • Try removing with the command line: `sudo apt autoremove emacs`. Then install the snap version to get [emacs 27](https://snapcraft.io/emacs). – Artur Meinild Mar 18 '21 at 11:07

To remove emacs, please see How to completely remove my Emacs:

I did following:

sudo apt autoremove emacs
sudo apt autoremove emacs26
sudo apt-get remove emacs-bin-common emacs-common emacs-el emacs-gtk

To install emacs version 27 do following:

sudo snap install emacs --classic
