Re: Symbol's function definition is void when listing packages

I ahve noticed the same on both OSX and Linux.

As soon as you run M-x calendar, this problem goes away. 

I’ve not had time to look at the exact cause, but suspect that something in emacspeak-package.el is relying on definitions in calendar.el which are not loaded if you haven’t run calendar yet. Many people use calendar and diary and likely have it hooked into org-mode, so may not see this issue as the necessary calendar stuff is probably getting loaded at startup and prior to running package-list-packages.

Hi.

I've noticed that every time I run the "list-packages" command with the latest Emacspeak in Emacs 24.5 on Mac OS X, I get the following message when arrowing up and down between the packages:

"symbol's function definition is void: calendar-date-string". However, as soon as I initialize the Emacs Calendar by running m-x calendar and then quitting it, the error disappears.

Anyone noticed this behavior with their installation of Emacspeak?

Best,

Victor
