There doesn't appear to be a file at
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/Install.log.gz, but there is one at
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/with-editor-3.5.1/Install.log.gz.
Unforunately, it's empty.
The maintainer of emacsen-common (which has a similar problem) suggests
that I try a reinstall and see if that shows any errors. I'll do the
same with this one,
Thanks,
.....Ron

Dear Maintainer,
I use emacs as $EDITOR, and ran tripwire on my system this
morning. When tripwire finished, emacs came up with a "definition is
void" error.
I'd had a similar problem yesterday (see bug #1139671), so I knew
what to look for. I found an empty "with-editor.elc" file in
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/with-editor-3.5.1, so I renamed it to
".bad", and that fixed the problem.
Thanks for reporting the issue and finding the cause. An empty .elc can
mean that the byte compilation of the file failed. I don't see this on
my system though. Can you show the content of the install log
(/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/Install.log.gz) which may have some
clue of what could have gone wrong?
