Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: ecm
gmp-ecm and ecm are both packages in Universe. The first is a math
program and the second one deals with a format for cdrom images.
Apparently they both call their command ecm. These are the involved
versions:
$ apt-cache policy gmp-ecm
gmp-ecm:
Installed: 6.2-1
Candidate: 6.2-1
Version table:
*** 6.2-1 0
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/universe Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
That is what I had installed when I tried to install ecm (and it failed). This
is the ecm package:
$ apt-cache policy ecm
ecm:
Installed: 1.00-0ubuntu2
Candidate: 1.00-0ubuntu2
Version table:
*** 1.00-0ubuntu2 0
500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/universe Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
$
If I had had ecm installed and tried to install gmp-ecm it would have
been the same problem, obviously so the problem really affects both
packages.
