Package: elpa-ess Version: 18.10.2+git20220915.f45542e-3 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable X-Debbugs-Cc: hugh.pumph...@gmail.com
Dear Maintainer, * What led up to the situation? I (as a long time user of R and the Emacs ESS mode) upgraded from bullseye to bookworm. * What exactly did you do (or not do) Attempted to edit an R source file in Emacs. (I am using emacs-lucid on account of Bug#1043326 in emacs-gtk, but the bug I report here occurs in both emacs-lucid and emacs-gtk.) * What was the outcome of this action? ESS mode fails to start up and many error and warning messages are emitted --- see below. * What outcome did you expect instead? I expected ESS mode to start as normal, as it did for many debian releases before bookworm. To check that this was not some oddity of upgrading from bullseye to bookworm I purged packages ess and elpa-ess and re-installed them; the problem did not go away. The error message appeared to be: File mode specification error: (error Loading file /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/ess-18.10.3snapshot/ess-rd.el failed to provide feature 'essddr') A buffer containing many warning messages appeared which I copy here: Warning (comp): Cannot look-up eln file as no source file was found for /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/ess-18.10.2/ess-r-mode.elc Disable showing Disable logging Warning (comp): Cannot look-up eln file as no source file was found for /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/ess-18.10.2/ess-mode.elc Disable showing Disable logging Warning (comp): Cannot look-up eln file as no source file was found for /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/ess-18.10.2/ess.elc Disable showing Disable logging Warning (comp): Cannot look-up eln file as no source file was found for /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/ess-18.10.2/ess-custom.elc Disable showing Disable logging Warning (comp): Cannot look-up eln file as no source file was found for /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/ess-18.10.2/ess-utils.elc Disable showing Disable logging Warning (comp): Cannot look-up eln file as no source file was found for /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/ess-18.10.2/ess-generics.elc Disable showing Disable logging Warning (comp): Cannot look-up eln file as no source file was found for /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/ess-18.10.2/ess-inf.elc Disable showing Disable logging Warning (comp): Cannot look-up eln file as no source file was found for /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/ess-18.10.2/ess-tracebug.elc Disable showing Disable logging Warning (comp): Cannot look-up eln file as no source file was found for /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/ess-18.10.2/ess-noweb-mode.elc Disable showing Disable logging Warning (comp): Cannot look-up eln file as no source file was found for /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/ess-18.10.2/ess-help.elc Disable showing Disable logging Warning (comp): Cannot look-up eln file as no source file was found for /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/ess-18.10.2/ess-s-lang.elc Disable showing Disable logging Warning (comp): Cannot look-up eln file as no source file was found for /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/ess-18.10.2/ess-roxy.elc Disable showing Disable logging -- System Information: Debian Release: 12.1 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-10-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages elpa-ess depends on: ii dh-elpa-helper 2.0.16 ii emacsen-common 3.0.5 Versions of packages elpa-ess recommends: ii r-base-core 4.2.2.20221110-2 Versions of packages elpa-ess suggests: pn jags <none> pn pspp <none> -- no debconf information
