--- Begin Message ---Hi, This is by design. It is also documented in the changelog: * This version of VM does not work with Emacs 21 and lower, since those versions are missing the custom-autoload function which is used invm-autoloads.el. As a result, no autoloads for vm are defined, making vm completely unusable with emacs21. VM no longer byte compiles itself for those versions. Remove support for emacs20 and emacs21 in emacsen.{install,remove}, add support for emacs23. Also add an NEWS.Debian file to document this change. Bug fix: "broken with emacs21 - (void-function custom-autoload)", thanks to Sven Joachim (Closes: #508543). The version of Emacs in stable is emacs22; and this change in vm was made in testing, not Lenny. manoj -- We are all dying -- and we're gonna be dead for a long time.
