(already compiled) install/bbdb: Byte-compiling for emacs-snapshot ... Generating bbdb-autoloads... Byte-compiling bbdb. This takes looooooong... Notice the error when first loading bbdb. The file /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50bbdb.el has: (require 'bbdb-autoloads) but it doesn't exist yet. I suggest only seeting up the package if bbdb-autoloads.el exists. I do something similar in many packages, e.g. in mh-e : (cond ((not (file-exists-p "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/mh-e")) (message "Package mh-e removed but not purged. Skipping setup.")) ((eq debian-emacs-flavor 'emacs20) (message "Skipping MH-E package setup for emacs20: not supported.")) ((eq debian-emacs-flavor 'emacs-snapshot) (message "Skipping MH-E package setup for emacs-snapshot")) (t ;; Setup [cut] ;; Usual entry commands into MH-E (require 'mh-autoloads) ;; contrib autoloads (autoload 'mh-frame "mh-frame" "" t))) The side-effect of this is that installation of emacs-snapshot-gtk fails on the package `vm-bonus-el' because bbdb is setup but not installed. I think the problem will go away if bbdb is fixed.
