elpa loading error: invalid-function "auto"

[Lawrence Bottorff]

I get this error when I start up emacs --debug-init:

-------------------

I'm using a combined .emacs and .emacs.d/ on my Ubuntu 14.10 (GNU Emacs 24.3.1 
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.10.9). This behavior came up after I 
installed a mozart/oz .deb package. mozart/oz uses emacs as its IDE. Maybe just 
coincidence, though.

Normally, I start emacs as a client (/usr/bin/emacsclient.emacs-snapshot -c -a 
''), but it doesn't come up normally and ps shows too many "daemons" (there 
should be just one "daemon"):

$ ps aux | grep emacs
me      6764  0.0  0.0  12780  2036 ?        S    11:48   0:00 
/usr/bin/emacsclient.emacs-snapshot -c -a 
me      6766  0.0  0.1 255572 13952 ?        S    11:48   0:00 emacs --daemon
me      6768  4.4  0.3 267372 25660 ?        Ss   11:48   0:00 emacs --daemon
