I see the error below when starting emacs ever since I added

Where to report the bug?
There is no single answer to that question, but:
You could run "rpm -qf /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.d/slime.el"
to find out which Fedora package contains that file. Alternatively:
$ repoquery --whatprovides /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-strt.d/slime.el
emacs-slime-0:3.0-0.8.20120525cvs.fc19.noarch
Next you will need to find out whether "emacs-slime" is the name of the
src.rpm package, because when reporting at Fedora bugzilla, the Source package
name is relevant.
You could do a bit of detective work before reporting the issue, e.g. by
examining the src.rpm package, looking for mistakes:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/emacs-slime.git/
You could look up the upstream URL and report the problem there.
You could visit
http://bugz.fedoraproject.org/emacs-slime and report
it directly to Fedora, assuming it to be a bug specific to Fedora.
