Bug Description
(This SRU info copied from duplicate bug 1051783)
Current version in Quantal: ecb-2.40+
Current version in Precise: ecb-2.40+
Full upstream Changelog:
* add temporary conflicts on cedet-common, cogre (Closes: #657765)
... (though the correct upstream bug number is actually #657756!)
[IMPACT]
* Upgrading to Precise is impossible on systems which have emacs23 and cogre installed.
* Since a few years back, emacs23 includes its own version of cogre, but the current ecb packaging is from before those days, and does not cope with this scenario.
* The difference between the current Precise version 2.40+cvs20110608-2 and the proposed version from Quantal ditto ditto-3 is the addition of yet one more Conflicts: field in debian/control.
[TESTCASE]
* Set up a pre-Precise system. You may have to go so far back as Hardy or Intrepid to find a platform where it was in fact possible to have emacs23 and ecb installed successfully.
* Install emacs23
* Install ecb
* Upgrade to Precise.
[Regression Potential]
* Because this fix simply prevents the installation of a package which is now superfluous, it should have very limited impact.
[Other Info]
* I would love to see this fixed in older supported releases, too, but the fix for Precise is extremely minor, and a good start.
