Package: dpkg-dev-el
Version: 24.11-1
Severity: normal
File: /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50dpkg-dev-el.el
I notice 50dpkg-dev-el.el calls `substitute' to mung the load-path,
but I think that function is in the cl package, which in emacs21 is
not normally loaded at that point.
An error can be provoked by adding to the start of the file
(setq load-path (cons nil load-path))
which for "emacs -q" leaves in the *Messages* buffer
Loading 50dpkg-dev-el (source)...
Error while loading 50dpkg-dev-el
I'm not sure when a nil would be present in load-path at this stage,
but if the code is meant to be there then it might be worth (require
'cl) to ensure it works.
Or perhaps stripping nils from load-path is not required if a
dependency on emacsen-common >= 1.4.16 is added.
debian-pkg-add-load-path-item is apparently fixed in that version.
Likewise in 50emacs-goodies-el.el and 51debian-el.el.
