database/bbdb issue

[Eric Masson]

Hi,

It seems to me that since emacs has been flavoured, database\bbdb builds
fine but can't be used as stated in 3.x series documentation.

Using the following initialization code :
~/.emacs.d/init.el
;; BBDB setup
(require 'bbdb)
(bbdb-initialize 'gnus 'message)
(bbdb-mua-auto-update-init 'gnus 'message)

emacs barfs on startup, as bbdb-mua-auto-update-init symbol is void.

A few google searches later, the issue seems to be known :
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/48634

The workaround is the following :
~/.emacs.d/init.el 
;; BBDB setup
(require 'bbdb-loaddefs) ;; symbol definition void workaround
(require 'bbdb)
(bbdb-initialize 'gnus 'message)
(bbdb-mua-auto-update-init 'gnus 'message)

Can this issue be fixed ?
If not, could a pkg-message be added to warn about the issue ?

Regards

Éric Masson
