Problem with simple.el

[David PONCE]

Hi all,

There is a problem with customization and the following change in
simple.el.

2002-09-11  Stefan Monnier  <address@hidden>

[...]
        * simple.el (transient-mark-mode, line-number-mode)
        (column-number-mode): Use define-minor-mode.
        (define-mail-user-agent): Delete.  Moved to subr.el.
[...]

Now if `transient-mark-mode' is customized for example, customize
generates the following `custom-set-variables' line:

'(transient-mark-mode t nil (simple))

Previously it generated:

'(transient-mark-mode t)

With the former Emacs fails at startup with the following error:

error: "Required feature `simple' was not provided"

Sincerely,
David
