Subject: 29.4; `package-recompile-all' should skip packages installed by
 distro package manager
Date: Sat, 07 Sep 2024 21:37:28 +0800

When I try recompiling all packages installed by package.el with `M-x
package-recompile-all', I got the following error:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (permission-denied "Removing old name" "Permission denied" "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/mu4e-1.10.8/mu4e-a...")
  package-recompile(#s(package-desc :name mu4e :version (1 10 8) :summary "the mu mail user agent" :reqs nil :kind nil :archive nil :dir "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/mu4e-1.10.8" :extras nil :signed nil))
  package-recompile-all()
  funcall-interactively(package-recompile-all)
  command-execute(package-recompile-all record)
  execute-extended-command(nil "package-recompile-all" "recom all")
  funcall-interactively(execute-extended-command nil "package-recompile-all" "recom all")
  command-execute(execute-extended-command)

This is possibly because the package `mu4e' was installed by the distro
package manager in a path where normal users don't have write access.

I think `package-recompile-all' should either skip those packages that
are not installed by package.el or ignore such errors and continue to
recompile other packages.

We have installed a patch in Bug#68678 on master (the commit is from
last February, so you wouldn't see it yet on 29.4) that wraps the
`package-recompile' call in a `with-demoted-errors' block.  That would
still emit a error message, but it wouldn't break the recompilation
procedure.  Do you think that is enough, or should be explicitly and
additionally avoid re-compiling external packages?

Great, I'll close this report then.  If you haven't fixed the issue
locally yet: Until you upgrade, a simple fix would be to add some advice
around package-recompile that wraps it in a `with-demoted-errors' block.
