When I execute 

(iter-defun iterator-of-directory-files (directory &optional full match ...)

it says 

(void-function macroexp-parse-body)

I tried to install Emacs 25 using the following command:

apt-get install emacs25 

apt-get spits out the following error message:

E: Unable to locate package emacs25

How do I go about installing emacs25?
