Package: calc

Severity: important

After I installed calc, the version bundled with emacs-snapshot stopped
working, pressing M-# signals the error:
Symbol's function definition is void: calc-record-compilation-date-macro
Enabling debug-on-error gave me the following backtrace:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function calc-record-compilation-date-macro)
(calc-record-compilation-date-macro)
calc-record-compilation-date()
eval-buffer(#<buffer *load*> nil "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/calc/calc.el"
nil t) ; Reading at buffer position 2875
load-with-code-conversion("/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/calc/calc.el"
"calc/calc" nil nil)
Interpretation: Although /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/calc is not the load-path
of emacs-snapshot, /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp is there and comes before
/usr/share/emacs/22.0.50/lisp. That alone would not be a problem, but
/etc/emacs/site-start.d/50calc.el has
(autoload 'calc-dispatch "calc/calc" "Calculator Options" t)
in it, and so Emacs loads the (uncompiled) version from the wrong place. :-(
I suggest to replace all instances of "calc/calc" in 50calc.el with "calc",
i.e. the following patch:

That's what I did, and it solves the problem for emacs-snapshot while keeping
Calc working with emacs21.
