I just want to confirm that the patch contributed by Erich Waelde on January 6, 2006 fixes the bug modulo the following: it also has to be applied to Makefile.in.
I did the following to make the bug go away, where patch is the file that contains Erich's patch: # sed -i 's/Makefile/Makefile.in/g' patch # patch -d /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/bbdb/lisp -p0 < patch # sed -i 's/Makefile\.in/Makefile/g' patch # patch -d /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/bbdb/lisp -p0 < patch # /var/lib/dpkg/info/bbdb.postinst configure Versions of relevant packages: bbdb 2.35.cvs20040528-1 emacs21 21.4a-3 emacs21-bin-common 21.4a-3 emacs21-common 21.4a-3 emacs21-el 21.4a-3 emacsen-common 1.4.16 make 3.80+3.81.b4-1 Hope this helps, -- Olaf Meeuwissen FSF Associate Member #1962 sign up at http://member.fsf.org/ GnuPG key: 30EF893A/2774 815B DE83 06C8 D733 6B5B 033C C857 30EF 893A Penguin's lib! -- I hack, therefore I am -- LPIC-2 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
