The information you omitted with that "..." is crucial information.
Precisely what directory was that file in? And what exactly was the
value of load-path?
I had just
presumed that the build process would prefer the source tree versions
of the .el files, and so was surprised when my changes to
./lisp/custom-deps.el didn't have any (immediate) effect.
Indeed, for an uninstalled Emacs the files in your source tree should
take precedence over installed files. Only the site-lisp directories
should take precedence over your source tree. If that is working
properly, the problem won't happen. So we need to see if it is
not properly set up.
