Error with emacs-28.0.5

Error with emacs-28.0.5

[Colin Baxter]

On a fresh pull today, I have built emacs from two branches:

A. "Test branch" from origin/emacs-27, giving me emacs-27.0.60:

 1. emacs -q <RET> launches with no errors.

 2. emacs <RET> launches with no errors.

B. "Master branch" giving me emacs-28.0.5:

 1. emacs -q <RET> launches with no errors.

 2. emacs <RET> launches with a Lisp error:
 (void-function bbdb-initialize). This particular error may not be
 significant because I then get a different error (can't find pandoc) if
 I comment out mentions of bbdb in my ~/.emacs.

I haven't been able to identify yet the particular part of my ~/.emacs which
is the source of the error. I suppose that's my problem. However, I
thought it worthwhile to report it here since others may experience
something similar.

Best wishes,

I forgot to mention that as far as I can tell, the error using
emacs-28.0.5 seems to have something to do with my package-manager
settings.

Best wishes.

Maybe the changes in that area need you to adjust your package
settings?

Indeed.

It does seem odd though that emacs-27.0.6 works but emacs-28.0.50 does
not. The last time `master' worked for me was on Dec 22 with

commit 36abf6864604b3061c2e070f8997491fa2bce44c
Author: Juri Linkov <juri@linkov.net>
Date:   Sun Dec 22 01:10:56 2019 +0200

Unfortunately I hadn't checked after that date - and after the merge -
until today.

Best wishes,

Well, if you can pinpoint the commit which caused this, we could then
decide whether it's justified or a bug.

Thanks.
