Having just upgraded to BBDB 2.2 I've come across a bug I'd fixed in
my own sources a while ago. When bbdb-define-all-aliases does its
magic it uses inconsistent tests to determine whether to use
mail-abbrevs (FSF ?) or mail-aliases (Xemacs ?).
The first test is fine (fboundp 'mail-abbrevs). It then defines all
the aliases, then checks to see if it works, but this time tests for
the existence of the mail-abbrevs table. Oops. I've got one of those,
probably getting pulled in from ~/.abbrev_defs, but BBDB just
(correctly) used define-mail-alias, so of course can't find what it's
expecting to.
Here's a trivial patch:
odie$cvs diff
cvs server: Diffing .
Index: bbdb-com.el
===================================================================
RCS file: /cvsroot/bbdb/bbdb/lisp/bbdb-com.el,v
retrieving revision 1.75
diff -r1.75 bbdb-com.el
2159c2159
< (if (boundp 'mail-abbrevs) mail-abbrevs
mail-aliases))
---
> (if (fboundp 'define-mail-abbrevs) mail-abbrevs
>mail-aliases))
I'm also getting some other strange behaviour that I expect is
something I've done, rather than a bug in BBDB.
gnus-bbdb-summary-get-author has started failing with a wrong type
error. It looks like bbdb-search-simple is now returning something
different from before. My own bbdb-pgp.el package suffers the same
problem - I use bbdb-search-simple and then try and use
bbdb-record-getprop to look up a field, but I keep getting Wrong type
errors that look like this:
Wrong type argument: arrayp, (["Thomas E." "Deweese" nil "Kodak" nil nil
("[EMAIL PROTECTED]") ((creation-date . "2000-07-13") (notes . "SyncBBDB
author") (pilot-id . "15007837") (timestamp . "2000-07-13") (timezone . "-0400")
(x-mailer . "VM 6.72 under Emacs 20.5.1")) ["Thomas E. Deweese" nil #<marker at 20984
in .bbdb> nil]])
What's that stuff at the end ? Are text properties getting in somehow?
