gnus-registry causes an error whenever saving newsrc file

[TSUCHIYA Masatoshi]

Hi,

I am using the byte-compiled head version of the master branch of Gnus,
and am using gnus-registry.  In these several months, I always see the
following error whenever saving newsrc file.

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function some)
  some(#[(entry-key) "..." [entry-key precious] 2] ((subject ...)))
  ...snip...
  registry-prune(...)
  ...snip...
  gnus-registry-save()
  run-hooks(gnus-save-newsrc-hook)
  apply(run-hooks gnus-save-newsrc-hook)
  gnus-run-hooks(gnus-save-newsrc-hook)
  gnus-save-newsrc-file(nil)
  gnus-group-save-newsrc(nil)
  call-interactively(gnus-group-save-newsrc nil nil)

I think that the above error is caused by the fact that `some' is not
declared as an inline function, but cannot find a solution to avoid this
problem.  Could you help me?

I have not seen this error.  It seems to be related to Emacs' move to
use `cl-' as the prefix of these functions, but `cl.el' should define
the `some' alias to `cl-some'.  Could you check?  `cl.el' is required by
`gnus-registry.el':

#+begin_src lisp
(eval-when-compile (require 'cl))
#+end_src

so this seems like maybe you have an older `cl.el' in your load path?

I am using a dev version of Emacs compiled last week and the registry
works for me.
