You have some faulty site-lisp code provided by debian emacs packages.
Because it was the Nth bug I had to track down due to the way debian
handles site-lisp, I just decided to get rid, for good, of debian
emacs packages, and do everything by hand. So I'm sorry to tell you
that I can't tell what line is faulty this time. But I can tell, for
sure, that it lives in debian site-lisp. Good luck.
