Debian Sid and speedbar

After using Ubuntu for quite some time, I decided to go back to my old favourite Debian. So I installed Debian Sid on my laptop Friday last. I'm an emacs user. So one of the first things that got installed was emacs-snapshot :-). Unfortunately I need to hack on Java for some days, so I went ahead and installed jde as well. I fire up emacs to do some python coding and I get this error --

File mode specification error: (error "Recursive `require' for feature `sb-info'")

I searched around the net and found out a patch here

According to the post, edit the file

/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/speedbar/sb-info.el

and put the line

(provide 'sb-info)

before

(eval-after-load "info" '(require 'sb-info))

instead of after.

After this:

M-x byte-compile-file /path/to/sb-info.el

This will generate the sb-info.elc, and since I'm using emacs-snapshot,
I moved this file to

 /usr/share/emacs-snapshot/site-lisp/speedbar/ 

Voila! Problem Solved.

Also, I read somewhere else, that this has been fixed upstream in the cedet CVS.
That might take sometime to trickle down debian sid, I guess.
