[344032] bugfix for: bbdb: File error: "Cannot open load file", "bbdb-autoloads"
Hi all,
1.
The installation of bbdb fails due to a bug in
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/bbdb/lisp/Makefile
The single quotes make the ending backslashes show up in the lisp code passed to emacs.
2.
The real problem is, that the install continues after throwing an error.
fix for 1.

This probably closes #345186 and #345297, too.
For 2. I don't have an answer, but look at this excerpt from
/usr/share/${FLAVOUR}/site-lisp/bbdb/CompilationLog.gz
indented and edited for readability
