[Ryan T Mulligan (ryantmulligan)]

I was able to byte compile emacs22 by:

apt-get remove ilisp

[Reinhard Tartler (siretart)]

reassign to the correct package.

the other traceback looked like a problem in the cedet package, please check there for dups

[Martin Bagge / brother (brother)]

I had a similar problem, the log was more like the second one. I did a aptitude remove cogre and then it byte compiled just fine.

[Michael Olson (mwolson)]

The jde part is fixed in jde (2.3.5.1-4).

[Reinhard Tartler (siretart)]

ilisp has been removed from hardy and is no longer available.

I'm therefore closing this bug.

[Dabian (dabian)]

I wouldn't say a fix is released, when the package isn't available. Its more like the bug is invalid for hardy, right?

[Reinhard Tartler (siretart)]

this bug is about the compilation failure of ilisp. the ecb bugtask may be similar to this bug, but is a different issue. Please consider filing another bug about this.
