That didn't work but it got me more detail on the problem, the exact
output of the command starting with the problem lines follows:
Byte-compiling pcl-cvs-lucid.el...
While compiling pcl-cvs-fontify in file /usr/share/emacs20/site-lisp/pcl-cvs/pcl
-cvs-lucid.el:
** assignment to free variable mode-motion-hook
** reference to free variable current-menubar
While compiling the end of the data:
** The following functions are not known to be defined: popup-menu,
event-window, event-point, mode-motion-highlight-line,
set-buffer-menubar, add-menu
Wrote /usr/share/emacs20/site-lisp/pcl-cvs/pcl-cvs-lucid.elc
sed -e '[EMAIL PROTECTED]@"/usr/share/emacs20/site-lisp/pcl-cvs/"@g' <
pcl-cvs-startup.el
> startup.el
Errors were encountered while processing:
emacs20_20.3-11_i386.deb
Any ideas? What needs to be done?
