[Bug 466531] Re: ecb: incompatible with emacs23, breaks installation / upgrade

[era]

I'm sorry, I don't understand (probably an incomplete understanding of
the process on my part).  Why is there nothing to review and sponsor?
Isn't the pending package in the review queue the thing which needs to
be reviewed and sponsored?  In particular,
http://launchpadlibrarian.net/118400222/ecb_2.40%2Bcvs20110608-2_2.40%2Bcvs20110608-2ubuntu1.diff.gz

Title:
  ecb: incompatible with emacs23, breaks installation / upgrade

Status in “ecb” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “ecb” source package in Precise:
  In Progress
Status in “ecb” package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  (This SRU info copied from duplicate bug 1051783)

  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.
