[Bug 432584] [NEW] dpkg and emacs mutually exclusive

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Daniel Holbach (dholbach):

The current update to dpkg is held up for me by emacs.  If I try to
force dpkg to install, it wants to remove emacs. If I try to install
both:

$  sudo apt-get install dpkg emacs
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree

emacs is already the newest version.
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  dpkg: Breaks: emacs22 (<= 22.3+1-1)
E: Broken packages

I have emacs 22.2-0ubuntu3.  dpkg wants to go from 1.15.3.1ubuntu1 to
1.15.4ubuntu1
