From: Donald Ephraim Curtis <dcurtis <at> milkbox.net> To: 10593 <at> debbugs.gnu.org Subject: bug#10593: 24.0.92; package.el doesn't initialize dependencies when installing Date: Tue, 24 Jan 2012 01:36:08 -0600
I am attempting to install the package "clojurescript-mode" which
depends on "clojure-mode" using package.el. clojurescript-mode properly
cites clojure-mode as a dependency and in the source does a (require
'clojure-mode). However, inside `package-download-transaction' there is
never a call to `package-initialize' or any other function to actually
add the newly installed `clojure-mode' to the load-path. It ends up in
this case that everything turns out fine, but there are other cases
where multiple levels of dependencies exist and a simple (require '...)
causes breakage. I am able to reproduce this with the `rinari' package
that installs from packages in Marmalade and Tromey's repository.

If this is a bug in the packages, I'd be happy to trace it down, but
changing `package-download-transaction' as follows fixed my problem;
note the (package-initialize) at the bottom...
(defun package-download-transaction (package-list)
"Download and install all the packages in PACKAGE-LIST.
PACKAGE-LIST should be a list of package names (symbols).
This function assumes that all package requirements in
PACKAGE-LIST are satisfied, i.e. that PACKAGE-LIST is computed
using `package-compute-transaction'."
(dolist (elt package-list)
(let* ((desc (cdr (assq elt package-archive-contents)))
;; As an exception, if package is "held" in
;; `package-load-list', download the held version.
(hold (cadr (assq elt package-load-list)))
(v-string (or (and (stringp hold) hold)
(package-version-join (package-desc-vers desc))))
(kind (package-desc-kind desc)))
(cond
((eq kind 'tar)
(package-download-tar elt v-string))
((eq kind 'single)
(package-download-single elt v-string
(package-desc-doc desc)
(package-desc-reqs desc)))
(t
(error "Unknown package kind: %s" (symbol-name kind)))))
