Dear Emacs maintainers,

I build emacs every month or so.
I Built the revision below tonight and got this error :

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (invalid-read-syntax "Invalid byte-code object")
  read(get-file-char)
  (use-package smartparens :ensure t :config (smartparens-global-mode t) (show-smartparens-global-mode t))
  eval-buffer(#<buffer  *load*> nil "/home/kika/.emacs.d/init.el" nil t)  ; Reading at buffer position 2153
  load-with-code-conversion("/home/kika/.emacs.d/init.el" "/home/kika/.emacs.d/init.el" t t)
  load("/home/kika/.emacs.d/init" noerror nomessage)
  startup--load-user-init-file(#f(compiled-function () #<bytecode -0x119a68f9432ba55e>) #f(compiled-function () #<bytecode 0x81a386fa1b157d3>) t)
  command-line()
  normal-top-level()

Every "use-package" instruction cause this. Same init.el than the last revision a built one month ago.
I just installed the emacs package shipped with fedora (emacs 2.6) and it works prefectly with the same init.el.

Have a nice day,

Guillaume Tessier

That was a bug in use-package, see
https://github.com/jwiegley/use-package/issues/842.  It is already
fixed.

I'm closing the bug.

Thanks,
Tassilo
