Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug <at> gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

`M-x dired' results in this error message:

Autoloading failed to define function epa-dired-mode-hook

Emacs started with emacs -Q --> dired works fine.

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/share/emacs/23.1.50/etc/DEBUG for instructions.

If `emacs -Q' works fine, then you should try and do more
investigation before reporting a bug.

Again, a quick web search suggests you have a file "epa-setup.el"
somewere in your configuration. This was removed from Emacs
2008-02-11.

You have a large number of load-path shadows, which indicates a
complex configuration. Please try to make sure problems are not due
this before reporting them as Emacs bugs.

I'm quite sure this extra package epa-dired is to blame:

> /usr/share/emacs/23.1.50/lisp/epa-dired hides /home/atting/emacs+/elisp_div/epa-dired

I'm closing this bug report, as "emacs -Q" does not exhibit the
problem.  I suggest that you take this up with Debian maintainers who
modified the original Emacs snapshot.

epa-dired.el has been part of Emacs since February 2008:

http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/emacs/emacs/lisp/epa-dired.el?view=log

So it looks like it's the opposite: the version of EPA bundled with
Emacs doesn't play nice with the version from Henry's home
directory.

They did no such thing.

Yes, they did:

    In GNU Emacs 23.1.50.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.1)
     of 2009-10-02 on elegiac, modified by Debian  <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

I was searching but honestly did not find it.
I am using emacs-snapshot for long time now, so according to the given
date this error should have happend much earlier.

Usually I do this – this time, too – but epa-setup was `hidden' in
~/.gnus.el; sorry for that.

Maybe report-emacs-bug should print a big warning about load-path
shadows so that the user try fixing the problem before reporting the
bug...
