Ok, then, I think, running the postinst script of "w3m-el-snapshot" went
wrong.  You should have become a message starting with 

install/w3m-el-snapshot: ...


Could you please run this as a normal user (with no root privileges):

/usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/w3m-el-snapshot emacs23

It will do nothing without root privileges, but should give some
useful output.
