I experienced the same thing. I forced installation with

dpkg -i --force-overwrite /var/cache/apt/archives/emacs22-common-non-dfsg_<version>.deb

After this, neither `apt-get check' nor synaptic complained about inconsistencies or broken packages.

There doesn't seem to be any emacs22-common-non-dfsg package in hardy. There is a emacs21-common-non-dfsg, but the bug report was about emacs 22.
