[Pkg-haskell-maintainers] Bug#752594: Bug#752594: ghc-mod fails to install with emacs23: Error: Symbol's function definition is void: defvar-local

[Joachim Breitner]

You did the last upload Sven. Can you take care of this?

And if such problems are likely to reoccur, you can maybe create some

Thanks,
Joachim
