Title:
  SRU request: please merge 2.40+cvs20110608-3 to 12.04 LTS

Status in “ecb” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  This is basically a request to fix bug #466531 for Precise users, but
  because the original bug report is more wide in its scope and has a
  long history, I am opting to file a separate SRU request under a
  dedicated bug number.

  Current version in Quantal: ecb-2.40+cvs20110608-3
  Current version in Precise: ecb-2.40+cvs20110608-2

  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.
