it's easy to work around in your config.

To do so, add (require 'cl) to your config, before (require 'org-drill).

The problem is that `copy-list' is a function defined in `cl' (as an
alias to `cl-copy-list' in `cl-lib'), but `org-drill' only requires `cl'
at compilation time. `org-drill' should use `cl-copy-list' instead, or
else require `cl' unconditionally (i.e., without `eval-when-compile').

I don't think you'll need to do this, ELPA will have handled it.

Hope that helps
