Subject: 30.0.60;
 use-package installing package from both vc and archive versions
Date: Wed, 24 Jul 2024 13:40:48 +0200

Start Emacs with the following command:
emacs -Q --init-directory=/tmp/emacs

Evaluate the following code:
(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/"))
(use-package restclient
  :vc (:url "https://github.com/abougouffa/restclient.el" :rev :newest))

Both the vc and the melpa versions of the package are installed. When
inspected through list-packages:
- The vc one has the latest commit hash in the list Version column.
The package details (pressing RET) shows Version as 0.
- The melpa one has 20231010.1327 in both Version fields.

Note that some package attributes, such as Version and
Package-Requires, are missing in restclient.el.

Apologies. the code to reproduce the issue in the previous message
contains semicolons. Here is the corrected version:

(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/"))
(use-package restclient
  :vc (:url "https://github.com/abougouffa/restclient.el" :rev :newest))

Note that even I'm using use-package to trigger this behaviour, I
believe it could also be reproduced by using package-vc-* instead.

Hello,

Philip, could you have a look at this one, please?

Thanks!

Thanks for the notification, I missed the message.

From what I see, the issues is a combination of the fact that the
repository contains multiple packages (that depend on one another, and
package-vc always installs all dependencies) and possibly MELPAs
versioning scheme.  I'll have to look at the issue in greater detail,
but if the crucial issues is the last point, then I don't think there is
much we can do.

(Also, the behaviour seems inconsistent which might reference some other
issue or a mistake in my testing: I sometimes only get one package,
sometimes both and I even got a stack overflow once.  So it is quite
probable that something has to be fixed.)
