Warnings during byte-compile when installing erlang-mode

[Russel Winder]

Binary package hint: erlang-mode

I just installed erlang-mode into Lucid using aptitude . . .

Setting up erlang-mode (1:13.b.3-dfsg-2ubuntu1) ...
emacsen-common: Handling install of emacsen flavor emacs
emacsen-common: Handling install of emacsen flavor emacs23

It does appear to work though despite these problems.

erlang-eunit.el uses "flet", which is part of of emacs' partial common lisp support. However, a "(require 'cl)" is missing, leading to the warning if the cl emacs package is not loaded yet. This is the case during byte-compile. I will see how to report this upstream, the warnings may be savely ignored (I think) till upstream fixes this.

This is fixeduUpstream in R14A, see http://github.com/erlang/otp/commit/c032d352a8610b47b2e88fd871d5047468240f16.
