erlang-base conflicts erlang-doc-html on jaunty

Cc: Fixed in version:
Upstream bug:  LP:371581

Description

erlang-base conflicts with erlang-doc-html (<< ${Upstream-Version}), even though erlang-doc-html is a completely separate source package. It's a cute trick, so long as the two packages stay in sync.

Unfortunately, erlang-base was manually synced into Jaunty after the DebianImportFreeze?, and nobody thought to grab erlang-doc-html as well.

This makes the two uninstallable, which means that thirdparty also won't currently install on Jaunty.

I see two options:

  • SRU for erlang-base removing the conflict
  • SRU for erlang-doc-html syncing in the new upstream version.

I don't know which is more likely to happen in bounded time. In the mean time, we should make erlang-doc-html a recommendation of thirdparty-languages instead of a dependency.

For the time being, I've made erlang-doc-html a recommendation of debathena-thirdparty-languages. We can move it back to a dependency when the issue is fixed in Jaunty.

Fix is in proposed; I'll move to production on Wednesday.

The change to thirdparty was moved into production a while ago. I'll keep the ticket open to track the issue in Ubuntu.

I'm not really seeing any pressure to fix this, so I'm going to FIXRELEASE it, on the grounds that we worked around the bug.
