Package: jde
Version: 2.3.5.1-2
Severity: grave

The jde package will not install on a lenny system using either
emacs21 or emacs 22. The problem is easily replicated:

- Start with an emacs21/22 install, don't install ecb
- apt-get install jde and it will fail after installing all
  dependencies (you will need to fix the other grave bug, #424869, by
  hand to get this far).

The last few lines in the install will be:

emacs-package-install: /usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/jde emacs22 
emacs22 failed at /usr/lib/emacsen-common/emacs-package-install line 30, 
<TSORT> line 7.
dpkg: error processing jde (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 jde
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)

After this jde is unusable.

The problem is solved by installing ecb alongwith the other declared
dependencies (I just tried with cogre alone, but it seems ecb is what
is required for the install to fail). 

This problem is consistently reproducible on two different machines
(one i686 lenny/sid, the other this ppc with lenny upgraded from
etch).

I don't (yet) know why exactly ecb is required, but it clearly fixes
the problem.

Cheers!
