The relevant message in that file seems to be this one:

> In toplevel form:
> silly-mail.el:86:1:Error: /usr/bin/mail is not executable

That is the same problem as in #502762, triggered by a Debian-specific
patch that lets sendmail.el throw an error if neither sendmail nor
/usr/bin/mail can be found, first reported and discussed in #429059.
Since a sensible solution had already been proposed in #429059, I'm
inclined to throw all these bugs together and assign them to the emacs22
package.

Opinions?
