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.
