Trouble with Emacs24 on Debian

Trouble with Emacs24 on Debian

[Lorenzo Isella]

Dear All,
I am running debian testing on my box.
After an update, I discovered that emacs sends out an error message while processing my .emacs file (which is a bit long and messy, I admit that, but it does what I need and never gave me a problem in the past).
However, if I run emacs23, everything is fine and I get no error message.
Please find at the end of the email the message I get when I run

emacs24 --debug-init

For me it is Greek, so any suggestion is really appreciated.
Cheers

Lorenzo

For what I recall from liceo :), this error is caused by an attempt to
invoke a function that is no more.

Some wise Emacs guru will tell you how to replace it.

It's better for me to stay silent, the last time I concoct something
using a couple of shell script, a wise Emacs guru replaced all the
circus with a single Emacs Lisp function invocation.

Looking at the code, this should not happen with a recent version of
sr-speedbar. Can you try upgrading it?
