Symbol's value as variable is void: collection #142

Closed slackorama closed 12 years ago

slackorama commented 12 years ago

I'm not sure if this problem is with emacs-starter-kit, ido-ubiquitous or emacs-snapshot but this problem popped up for me.

Emacs version: GNU Emacs 24.1.50.1 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.4.1) of 2012-05-24 on rhenium, modified by Debian

To wit:

  1. emacs-snapshot -Q
  2. Eval: (require 'package) (add-to-list 'package-archives '("marmalade" . "http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/") t) (package-initialize) (setq package-user-dir "/tmp/elpa") (package-refresh-contents) (package-install 'starter-kit)

  3. After it finishes, type C-h f and you get:

    let: Symbol's value as variable is void: collection

It's a problem with the Debian packages. They mis-named a file that tells emacs the argument names for built-in functions, which causes ido-ubiquitous to fail because it uses those argument names.
