Re: newsticker-start: Recursive laod error

[Xavier Maillard]

Well I finally discovered why it did not fail here. That was due
to I was using version 1.5.

I just apt-get remove Emacs-goodies-el (debian package), deleted
all newsticker.el laying around and finally restarted Emacs.

With the version shipped in Emacs-snapshot (aka CVS), I have this:

Voila.
