Thank you for your bug report. Yes, lcomp.el was dropped in 40.0, because emacswiki is its only upstream. FYI MELPA has also dropped all emacswiki packages which are not maintained elsewhere. It is highly probable that this bug occurred due to breaking changes introduced with emacsen-common 3.0.2, rather than from removal of this file. > -- System Information: > Debian Release: buster/sid > APT prefers testing > APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (300, 'unstable') > Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) > Foreign Architectures: i386 I see you're mixing testing and unstable. Are you willing to test an upgrade to unversioned emacs? It would be a valuable data-point to solving this emacs-goodies-el bug! If so, please use the following procedure: # This bit returns goodies to the state it was for Stretch apt purge --autoremove emacs-goodies-el wget https://snapshot.debian.org/archive/debian/20161122T032842Z/pool/main/e/emacs-goodies-el/emacs-goodies-el_36.3_all.deb # this next line might be paranoia apt autoremove --purge # and finally install the package dpkg -i emacs-goodies-el_36.3_all.deb # This installs emacs-goodies-el from stretch, and will pull in the # new unversioned emacs. Please note the list of packages, in case # you need to roll back. apt install emacs-goodies-el=40.1 I expect that emacs-goodies-el will successfully upgrade at this point, because I believe I fixed its dependency issue in 40.1. Confirmation would be very much appreciated :-) Cheers, Nicholas
