[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hi,

It seems that autoload.el's update-directory-autoloads fails when
instead of a time struct, an MD5 checksum is found in (nth 4 form).
Attached are both the .loaddefs.el that made me fall onto what looks
like a bug (the file was generated by el-get AFAIK) and a patch that
partially fix the problem (at least for me ;).

The following discussion helped me narrow down the problem:
  https://github.com/dimitri/el-get/issues/1352

Feedbacks of all kinds welcome.

Regards,

Sheda

I think it's not a bug to throw an error in this case, it's just an
el-get bug that it generated such loaddefs files in the first place. (I
think the el-get bug was fixed, please followup on its issue tracker if
not).
