Package: auto-complete-el Version: 1.3.1-1 Severity: normal File: /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/auto-complete/auto-complete.el
Starting from "emacs23 -q", evaluating (progn (require 'auto-complete) (ac-symbol-documentation 'emacs-version) (describe-function 'emacs-version)) gives a warning in the *Messages* buffer Warning: defvar ignored because help-xref-following is let-bound and an error Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable help-xref-following) I struck this somehow when auto-complete presented some variables and their docstring and I later tried to bring up describe-variable separately, but alas I don't have a good recipe to reproduce the problem. I believe ac-symbol-documentation should (require 'help-mode) before let-binding help-xref-following, since as the message says a let will defeat a defvar and leave the variable unbound. Unless ac-symbol-documentation can be confident help-mode.el is already loaded, but it looks like that's not so. I believe help-mode.el and thus (require 'help-mode) is available in emacs22 and up, but not xemacs21. But that's fine since auto-complete is only for emacs22 and up anyway is it? -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-486 Locale: LANG=en_AU, LC_CTYPE=en_AU (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages auto-complete-el depends on: ii emacs22-gtk [emacs22] 22.3+1-1.2 ii emacs23 23.4+1-3 auto-complete-el recommends no packages. auto-complete-el suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
