Hello! First of all, my apologies for not remembering that backports bugs should not be filed on bugs.d.o. And thanks for dealing with it anyway.
Xiyue: I've read #1099467 and, based on it, tried to install dh-elpa 2.1.5 on my stable+backports machine. AFAICT from the bug report, it should fix the issue, which is marked as fixed in 2.1.2, but it doesn't for me. Is that expected? Here's what I still experience with it: ---------------------------- $ sudo dpkg --configure --pending Setting up elpa-compat (29.1.3.4+dfsg-1) ...
