This is a release-critical bug. Since I'm going to do an NMU for #291970 anyway, this is the patch I will use for this one: --- emacspeak-17.0/debian/control.orig Thu Jan 27 10:17:59 2005 +++ emacspeak-17.0/debian/control Thu Jan 27 10:19:22 2005 @@ -8,7 +8,7 @@ Package: emacspeak Architecture: all Pre-Depends: emacs20|emacs21 -Depends: tclx8.3|tclx76|tclx, perl-5.005|perl +Depends: tclx8.3|tclx76|tclx, perl-5.005|perl, emacsen-common Conflicts: emacspeak-dt (<= 0.30), emacspeak-ss (<= 1.5) Suggests: emacspeak-ss, calc, psgml, xsltproc Description: speech output interface to Emacs I'm ignoring the outdated emacs20, tclx, and perl dependencies, and the most probably superfluous Pre-Depends, since they aren't release-critical.
