Subject: 25.1.50; EUDC conversion to BBDB 3 incompatibility
Date: Sat, 21 Nov 2015 09:30:42 -0500

I'm reporting an incompatibility between functions found in
eudc-export.el and BBDB3.

The version of eudc should be implied by the emacs-25 version info
below. The version of bbdb is

bbdb-20151114.1541

installed from MELPA.

Here is how to reproduce the issue.

I initialize/configure bbdb, eudc and ldap as follows:

;;---------------------------------------------------------------------------
;; bbdb

(use-package bbdb
  :config
  (bbdb-initialize 'gnus 'message 'sc 'aliases))

;;---------------------------------------------------------------------------
;; eudc and ldap

(use-package eudc
  :config
  (eudc-set-server "ldap.tufts.edu" 'ldap t)
  (setq eudc-server-hotlist '(("ldap.tufts.edu" . ldap)))
  (setq eudc-inline-expansion-servers 'hotlist)
  (setq eudc-inline-query-format '((name)
				   (firstname)
				   (firstname name)
				   (email)
				   ))
  (setq eudc-ldap-bbdb-conversion-alist
	`((name . cn)
	  (net . mail)
	  (address eudc-bbdbify-address postaladdress "Address"))))

(use-package ldap
  :config
  (setq ldap-host-parameters-alist
	'(("ldap.tufts.edu" base "dc=tufts,dc=edu")))
  (setq ldap-ldapsearch-args (quote ("-tt" "-LLL" "-x"))))

;;---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now do

M-x eudc-query server

Any hit will do; with the above server setting, you can e.g. find *me*
by entering McNinch as NAME in the query form.

After pushing the "query server" button, enter the *Directory Query
Results* buffer, put point on a record (for an individual not already in
the bbdb), and press 'b' (or do M-x eudc-try-bbdb-insert ).

I get an error, which is reported in messages as 

bbdb-change-record: Wrong type argument: listp, t

In fact, a record *has* been inserted into the bbdb; in this case it
looks like

["George" "McNinch" nil "George.McNinch <at> tufts.edu" nil nil nil nil ((creation-date . "2015-11-21 14:13:29 +0000") (timestamp . "2015-11-21 14:13:29 +0000")) nil]

(assuming McNinch was not already in the bbdb, of course).

This record seems "mangled" from the point-of-view of BBDB3 - the email
address should be "in a list" inside this record-vector. Perhaps other
things are amiss, as well.


Note also that the setting of eudc-ldap-bbdb-conversion-alist I made
above isn't quite the original value. If I instead use the original
value, e.g. by instead using the original value

[which amounts to:

  (setq eudc-ldap-bbdb-conversion-alist
	`((name . cn)
	  (net . mail)
	  (address eudc-bbdbify-address postaladdress "Address")
	  (phone
	   (eudc-bbdbify-phone telephonenumber "Phone")))


in the initialization of EUDC],

then when I press "b" on a record
in the *Directory Query Results* buffer, I get the error

eudc-bbdbify-phone: Symbol’s function definition is void:
bbdb-parse-phone-number
