Package: erc
Version: 5.3-1
Severity: important
Dear Michael,
ERC has been included with Emacs since Emacs 22.1. ERC is now
developed as part of Emacs.[*]
^ [*]. http://wikipedia.org/wiki/ERC_(software)
Users of ancient versions of Debian installed this "erc" package on
their systems. This package is still part of Debian stable, testing,
and unstable, even today. But this package causes a problem for users
of modern Emacs (e.g. emacs23-common or emacs24-common) who have not
removed the package: it causes "M-x erc" to launch a five-year-old
version of ERC.
Maybe the ideal fix would be the one described in the final paragraph
of <http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=632142#36>. Or
maybe not. I'm not sure.
Kind regards,
