Subject: bug#856: 23.0.60; apropos-command and broken fun aliases
Date: Mon, 1 Sep 2008 23:15:28 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1220303728.447523.3814@green> (raw)
On my system, the following raises an error when evalled with CVS
emacs -Q:
(apropos-command (quote ("vc")) 1)
Backtrace:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function vc-previous-version)
documentation(vc-previous-version t)
apropos-command(("vc") 1)
call-interactively(apropos-command nil nil)
There are actually two problems related to this bug:
(1) In vc-hooks.el, there is a definition
(define-obsolete-function-alias
'vc-previous-version 'vc-previous-revision "23.1"),
but the function `vc-previous-revision' is not defined.
(2) `apropos-command' should handle errors caused by broken function
aliases. Else, cases like (1) make `apropos-command' partly unusable.
