From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.2) Gecko/20010809 Description of problem: Gnus occasionally gives a message saying that the definition of mailcap-parse-mailcaps as a function is void. Tracing this down, I find that mailcap-parse-mailcaps is defined in the file mailcap.el in the xemacs-packages/lisp/gnus subdir. But there is also a mailcap.el file in the flim subdir. Apparently gnus ends up loading the wrong file. If I explicitly load the gnus/mailcap.el file by full pathname, things work. As a workaround, I moved the lisp/flim subdir to bug/flim to get it out of the way (as I don't use flim, whatever it is). That fixed it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emacs -f gnus (assuming you've got usenet access set up) 2."j comp.lang.fortran" then "=" to enter the newsgroup 3. ctrl-S to start a search, then type (w/o quotes) "How to get Intel" 4. hit return twice to try read the article you just found (I've selected one particular recent article that triggers it; many others do also). Actual Results: Symbol's function definition is void: mailcap-parse-mailcaps Expected Results: See the article Additional info:
We removed the file from semi 1.14.3-6 mid-August.
