bbdb, xemacs21-nomule, squeeze

Hi, after upgrading to Debian squeeze and assuring to have again XEmacs21-nomule I have a problem with bbdb: Reading any email I get the error message "No such coding system utf-8" as bbdb is trying to encode names with utf-8. (See trace below.) Looking at bbdb.el I find: (defun bbdb-name-normalize (name) "Return normalized NAME. NAME is converted to lower case and in a MULE enabled Emacs it is converted to UTF-8 or unibyte to unify the overlapping ISO-8859-* encodings. You may advice this function to allow more sophisticated normalizations." (when name. (setq name (downcase name)) (cond ((functionp 'encode-coding-string) (funcall 'encode-coding-string name 'utf-8)) ((functionp 'string-make-unibyte) (funcall 'string-make-unibyte name)) (t name)))) But this means that my XEmacs-nomule works like a MULE enabled Emacs! As a workaround I changed that function, but the real solution would be to get XEmacs-nomule not to "assume" to be MULE enabled! (As a matter of fact, starting up XEmacs, I now always get the warning "X-Symbol: cannot deduce default encoding, I'll assume `iso-8859-1'". I guess that's also some MULE-related error message which in XEmacs-nomule doesn't make much sense.) I guess this is a bug, but I don't know on which level: Is a bbdb-bug checking for mule by checking for the presence of "encode-coding-string"? A debian bug, by making available "encode-coding-string" in xemacs21-nomule? A xemacs-bug? Or whatever? Thanks a lot in advance Andreas Gösele Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "No such coding system" utf-8) encode-coding-region(1 19 utf-8) encode-coding-string("john doe" utf-8) bbdb-name-normalize("John Doe") bbdb-name=("John Doe" "John Doe") bbdb-annotate-message-sender(("John Doe" "joh.doe(a)some.where") t prompt bbdb-prompt-for-create) byte-code("..."
