[cl-debian] Bug#361275: cl-swank: swank-loader looks for a ChangeLog file that doesn't exist

Package: cl-swank Version: 1:20060328-2-1 Severity: critical I'm trying to run slime from emacs in the usual way with M-x slime. I get in the *inferior-lisp* buffer: [1]> ;; Loading file /usr/share/common-lisp/source/slime/swank-loader. lisp ... *** - FILE-WRITE-DATE: file #P"/usr/share/common- lisp/source/slime/ChangeLog" does not exist The following restarts are available: SKIP :R1 skip (DEFVAR *FASL-DIRECTORY* # ...) STOP :R2 stop loading file /usr/share/common- lisp/source/slime/swank-loader.lisp ABORT :R3 ABORT Then I check the ChangeLog file and verified that doesn't exist. I get this problem when upgrading from the 20060228 version to the current 20060328 of slime and cl-swank.

This is strange as we create a ChangeLog file in the appropriate elc directory when installing for a emacs variant. See /usr/lib/emacsen-common/packages/install/slime: ... ELCDIR=/usr/share/${FLAVOR}/site-lisp/${PACKAGE} .. cd ${ELCDIR} ... ln -s /usr/share/doc/${PACKAGE}/changelog ChangeLog So it should not search for the ChangLog file there. Maybe the installation itself went wrong? Does anyone else has this problem?

swank-loader.lisp looks for the ChangeLog in its own source directory; #P"/usr/share/common-lisp/source/slime" and not in the elisp directory, where the symbolic link is created by the aforementioned script. This "works" in CMUCL & derivatives only because the function (file-write-date) returns nil if its argument does not point to a valid file, unlike CLISP which signals (file-error).
(...) Does anyone else has this problem?
Yes! :) I believe a symbolic link to the changelog from /usr/share/common-lisp/source/slime/ChangeLog would fix this bug. Regards, Kristian Berge Nessa Cavatina Software AS
