Thanks for coming back to me. The command you give outputs the single line drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 154 Aug 13 17:01 /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/transient-0.8.8 Also, M-x find-library RET transient does bring up version 0.8.8 of transient.el. The fact that you cannot reproduce this made me try as a different local user. And indeed, with the different user, I cannot reproduce the problem as well! So this must somehow depend on my user-specific configuration, but shouldn’t ‘emacs -q’ disable most of it? As far as I know, I do not do anything strange with environment variables. Any suggestions what I could try to debug this? Sean Whitton wrote: > Seeing ## makes me think of elpa-llama ? Yes, although I checked that llama itself works. It seems to be related indirectly, see https://github.com/magit/magit/discussions/5441#discussioncomment-14408198
