I'm running Fedora 21, emacs-24.4-3.fc21.x86_64 and emacs-goodies-35.8-3.fc21.noarch. When I open Gnus and try to compose a message, it complains: "Autoloading failed to define function gnus-nnir-group-p" This is because there is a file named: /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/gnus-bonus/nnir.elc which shadows the correct nnir.elc file: /usr/share/emacs/24.4/lisp/gnus/nnir.elc The shadowed file contains the correct definition of gnus-nnir-group-p, but the former file does not. An obvious workaround is to uninstall emacs-goodies; another one is to follow the advice in this message: <https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnus-english/2013-04/msg00061.html>. I also found this bug: <https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=768381>. Since emacs-goodies is a Debian package, I think it may be interesting to follow up on that.
