Package: emacs-snapshot-el Version: 1:20070302-1 Severity: normal In the latest upgrade, a change to the ps-print package has broken it badly.
The changelog says: 2007-03-01 Vinicius Jose Latorre <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * ps-print.el: Replace (defvar VAR nil) by (defvar VAR). Unfortunately, this is not a valid substitution. Even though INITVALUE is optional, the defvar documentation states: If INITVALUE is missing, SYMBOL's value is not set. which means that even though there is a defvar for (say) `ps-lf-cache', there still is no variable defined of that name. Or put in other words, this form fails with a void-variable error: (progn (defvar xxx) xxx) while this one succeeds: (progn (defvar yyy nil) yyy) returning `nil'. -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=da_DK (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages emacs-snapshot-el depends on: ii emacs-snapshot-common 1:20070302-1 The GNU Emacs editor's common infr emacs-snapshot-el recommends no packages.
