Hello Angus77, or anyone else affected,
Accepted ecb into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ecb/2.40+cvs20110608-2ubuntu1 in a
few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.
Please help us by testing this new package. See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update
out to other Ubuntu users.
If this package fixes the bug for you, please change the bug tag from
verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not, change the
tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing
will help us make a better decision.
Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in
advance!
** Changed in: ecb (Ubuntu Precise)
Status: In Progress => Fix Committed
** Tags added: verification-needed

Title:
ecb: incompatible with emacs23, breaks installation / upgrade
Status in “ecb” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in “ecb” source package in Precise:
Fix Committed
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.
