Hi,

I compiled emacs master yesterday and use-package doesn't work anymore.

When I compile emacs, I delete .emacs.d/elpa and .emacs.d/eln-cache to

I get error messages like:

Error (use-package): Failed to install compat: Wrong type argument: 
package-desc, nil
Error (use-package): Cannot load compat

for all packages, after they are downloaded from ELPA.


Bug reports don't work either except from

emacs -Q

HI,
I was going to suggest it. I have rebuilt emacs w/native today and it seems
to be stable.

Thanks! /PA
