Re: why does this problem come

For a more useful error message, try installing from the command line:

sudo apt-get install emerald

Incidentally, that holds true with most things: running from the command line gives you better error messages.

Re: why does this problem come

I prefer to use the --simulate option when executing from the CLI - that way I get to see what would happen without actually having it happen.

So, from the CLI, type:

sudo apt-get install --simulate emerald

and copy/paste the results for review.
