[Bug 380364] [NEW] w3m-el error complaint preventing xemacs icons from showing

[GaryW]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: w3m-el

Error while loading 50w3m-el
Symbol's function definition is void: batch-byte-compile
xemacs exiting

This output I noticed during install of pylint which interacted with emacs with a message I look up below:
   http://www.google.co.uk/search?q="install%2Fpylint%3A+Handling+install+for+emacsen+flavor"

Some details about my machine and versions is shown below and I will
also try to attach the dpkg output from the pylint package install
(failed)
