Date: Mon, 10 Mar 2025 17:03:27 +0100

Hi Michael,

I hope this is the right place to report this.

I tried to update my packages with `package-upgrade-all' but when trying
to upgrade debbugs from 0.43 to 0.44, I get the following error:

package-compute-transaction: This package requires Emacs version 26.1

It also seems that debbugs 0.43 was removed before this error appears.

Best regards,

Sure. GNU ELPA packages, like debbugs, are handled via debbugs :-)

What's the problem? Debbugs requires Emacs 26.1 for two years:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
commit a35646a9798226b8630fbd7a0691edc78ccd92b3
Author: Michael Albinus <michael.albinus <at> gmx.de>
Date:   Sat Apr 9 10:21:27 2022 +0200

    Release debbugs 0.32

    * debbugs-compat.el: New file.

    * debbugs-gnu.el (debbugs-compat): Require it.
    (debbugs-gnu-insert-changelog): Use `debbugs-compat-string-replace'.

    * debbugs.el: Require Emacs 26.1.  Move version to 0.32.
    (subr-x): Require it.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Perhaps there is an error in package-upgrade-all? Copying Philip and
Stefan; perhaps they have an idea.

Yeah, sounds like the exact same bug.
Manuel, was your problem easy to reproduce?  If so, can you try and
update your `master` build of Emacs and see if you can still reproduce
the problem after the update?

I had the same issue and the last change in cond-star.el fixed it.

Yes, it was easy to reproduce:

    - M-x package-install <RET>
    - debbugs <RET>

I have then update Emacs to master at fd4de89460e.  The same commands
now work correctly (In fact, I had to de-install debbugs because Emacs
thought that 0.44 was installed while the .el files were absent).

Thanks.
