Package: speedbar Version: 1:1.0pre3-7 Severity: grave File: /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/speedbar/sb-info.el
since upgrading to emacs22, it is no longer possible to access the "info" mode in emacs. When trying to execute the "info" command in emacs, i get the following error message: "Recursive `require' for feature `sb-info'". The emacs-lisp backtrace is: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Recursive `require' for feature `sb-info'") require(sb-info) eval((require (quote sb-info))) eval-after-load("info" (require (quote sb-info))) byte-code("ÀÁÂ\"ÃÄ!" [eval-after-load "info" (require (quote sb-info)) provide sb-info] 3) require(sb-info) eval((require (quote sb-info))) eval-after-load("info" (require (quote sb-info))) byte-code("ÀÁÂ\"ÃÄ!" [eval-after-load "info" (require (quote sb-info)) provide sb-info] 3) require(sb-info) eval((require (quote sb-info))) eval-after-load("info" (require (quote sb-info))) byte-code("ÀÁÂ\"ÃÄ!"

This post: https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/ess-help/2007-January/003873.html says that sb-info.el is part of cedet, whereas it actually seems more to be part of speedbar, at least from a debian package point of view. Also the post points to a solution which can be found in the latest version of sb-info.el (version 1.20 here http://cedet.cvs.sourceforge.net/cedet/cedet/speedbar/sb-info.el?view=log). -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages speedbar depends on: ii cedet-common 1:1.0pre3-7 Collection of Emacs Development En speedbar recommends no packages. -- no debconf information
