bug#7330: 24.0.50; Gnus: Symbol's function definition is void

[Rares Vernica]

Hello,

I updated to the latest emacs version from bzr on November 4. I compiled
it and it seems to work fine except for Gnus. I get an error when I try
to open any of the Gnus groups.

M-x emacs-version:
GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (sparc-sun-solaris2.10, X toolkit) of 2010-11-04

I open Gnus and it checks for new emails. Everything works fine and all
the groups are displayed. When I try to enter a group I get the flowing
error message:

insert: Symbol's function definition is void: gnus-user-format-function-b

M-x toggle-debug-on-error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function gnus-user-format-function-b)
  (gnus-user-format-function-b gnus-tmp-header)
  (insert (gnus-user-format-function-b gnus-tmp-header) gnus-tmp-unread gnus-tmp-replied gnus-tmp-score-char gnus-tmp-indentation)

  gnus-group-read-group(nil t)
  gnus-group-select-group(nil)
  call-interactively(gnus-group-select-group nil nil)

This might also be related. If I have BBDB enabled I get the following
error message when Gnus starts:

Symbol's function definition is void: bbdb-insinuate-gnus

I had to disable BBDB in order to get emacs to load.

Thanks,
Rares

`bbdb-insinuate-gnus' defines this alias (in BBDB 2.35):

,----[ <f1> f gnus-user-format-function-b RET ]
| gnus-user-format-function-b is an alias for 
| `bbdb/gnus-summary-author-in-bbdb'.
| (gnus-user-format-function-b HEADER)

| `bbdb/gnus-summary-known-poster-mark' otherwise.

Probably you didn't install and BBDB correctly.

Bye, Reiner.

I think it was because I did not properly initialize BBDB. I reinstalled
BBDB and initialize it properly and now everything works.

Thanks!
