Description of problem: This bug is a Fedora-related mirror of emacs bug #11580: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2012-05/msg00819.html I have proposed a patch upstream to fix the problem: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2012-09/msg00524.html The patch has not yet been reviewed/accepted, but I would like to see it backported to Fedora ASAP. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): emacs-common-24.1-4.fc17.x86_64 The bug also happens on F16, using: emacs-common-23.3-9.fc16.x86_64 How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. With EUDC configured to consult BBDB, create an entry in BBDB with an empty last name (e.g., "email" "" "email") 2. Create a new e-mail message, and try to complete the entry's name. 3. See the "Unexpected attribute value" error message. Please let me know if you need more info. Thanks.
Ping. The patch has now been checked-in: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-diffs/2012-10/msg00035.html.
Created attachment 639073 [details] Patch to fix the issue This is the patch that have been accepted and committed upstream. I backported it to the current F16 branch, but it should be fairly easy to backport it to the other branches as well.
Ping, again. This bug is simple to fix, and very annoying. It happens almost every time I start composing an e-mail inside Gnus. Could you please give at least some feedback about it? I have already provided the full patch to be applied against Fedora Emacs, it's just a matter of accepting (or rejecting with reasons) it. Thanks.
Hi Sergio, I'm going to build an updated Emacs today.
