Hi all,

debbugs 0.30 landed via package-update and while byte-compiling the new
version, Emacs says:

  Compiling file z:/pathto/.emacs.d/elpa/debbugs-0.30/debbugs-autoloads.el at Tue Jan 25 17:36:45 2022
  Entering directory ‘z:/pathto/.emacs.d/elpa/debbugs-0.30/’
  debbugs-autoloads.el: Error: End of file during parsing

Killing and re-starting Emacs leaves this message in the shell:

  Error loading autoloads: (user-error Local variables entry is missing
  the suffix)

Emacs starts though.  The error goes away if I delete debbugs and
re-start.  This is Emacs from git (b373c8ad) on Win10 compiled with
Msys2.

Best, Arash

I have installed debbugs 0.30 unde GNU/Linux, using

GNU Emacs 29.0.50 (build 29, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version
 3.24.31, cairo version 1.17.4) of 2022-01-22

In buffer *Compile-Log* there is

No error, and also no compilation of debbugs-autoloads.el.

> Killing and re-starting Emacs leaves this message in the shell:

Whatever it means. debbugs-autoloads.el contains at the end:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;; Local Variables:
;; version-control: never
;; no-byte-compile: t
;; no-update-autoloads: t
;; coding: utf-8-emacs-unix
;; End:
;;; debbugs-autoloads.el ends here
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This looks ok to me. The user error is raised in
`hack-local-variables--find-variables'. There has been a change in that
function recently (2dad332a1439b59a62cd5ed0d8e3626d9e91e3e5), don't know
whether this is related. Adding Stefan to Cc.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for your response.  I randomly took a package (the winner was
company-quickhelp) I've installed from MELPA, deleted it, re-started
Emacs and installed it again.  Same issue.  So it is not related to
debbugs, it was just the first package arrived here :)

I admit byte-compiling autoloads was also new to me.

> Adding Stefan to Cc.

Thanks, it seems the issue is more related to package itself.

Following-up myself, I think I found the issue.  Emacs writes ^M to
<package>-autoloads.el.  If I remove them manually, Emacs starts without
any errors.

I'm attaching the one for debbugs for your reference.  I don't see this
behavior with my older packages installed.  They also have this in the
local variables:

  ;; coding: utf-8

Maybe the change to

  ;; coding: utf-8-unix

on Windows is the issue?

Best, Arash

Hmmm...  a mix of Unix and DOS EOLs that's a problem, indeed.

It does seem to be the trigger, but I wonder why we end up with some DOS
EOLs in those files.

The sample you sent shows that the ^M are present on those parts of the
file what are "constant" at the beginning and the end.

Yes, it does.  I deleted debbugs via package interface, applied your
change to `package-autoload-ensure-default-file' in scratch and eval'ed
the function, then I re-installed debbugs -- flawless.  Thank you.

I'll close this report when the fix is installed.
