Subject: bbdb broken after apt-get upgrade

Package: bbdb
Version: 2.35.cvs20040528-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Hi, this is a followup to bug #344032

bbdb stopped functioning after an upgrade of emacs. Maybe this bug
should be filed there. (...).

Even with Roland Mas's work-around (in #344032) I get errors. Eg.
creating a new record breaks with: void-function
bbdb-creation-date-hook

Package: bbdb
Version: 2.35.cvs20040528-1
Followup-For: Bug #345186

The problem seems to be that emacs21.4a-3 does not make the
bbdb-autoloads.el .. this is similar to bug #345297

My very rough fix for this bug (and possibly 344032 and 345297))

apt-get install --reinstall emacs21

wait for the 'compiling bbdb, this takes loooonngg' message, and then
(quickly) wget http://bbdb.sourceforge.net/bbdb-autoloads.el
and place this file in /usr/share/emacs21/site-lisp/bbdb

if I did that in time, there are no errors reported on bbdb (check
the compile log in tmp/)

That was not quite it: I also had to add the following three
lines to my start up files, to get gnus and bbdb back to their brilliant
work.

(setq load-path (cons (concat "/usr/share/emacs21/site-lisp/bbdb")
load-path))
(setq load-path (cons (concat "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/bbdb/lisp")
load-path))

(load-library "bbdb-gnus"
