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.
