Reproducing steps:
1. cd $(mktemp -d)
2. HOME=$PWD emacs -Q
3. eval this: (progn (require 'package) (package-install 'iso-date))
4. see this error in the *Compile-Log* buffer:

Compiling file /tmp/tmp.ceXmJA3A9J/.emacs.d/elpa/iso-date-1.0.3/embark-iso-date.el at Thu Aug 21 06:43:36 2025

embark-iso-date.el:24:11: Error: Cannot open load file: No such file or directory, embark


Maybe iso-date.el and embark-iso-date.el should be two different ELPA packages.

While it doesn't really affect users without embark, it is true that
this can be confusing.  I have added the maintainer to the CC's to see
what they think of the issue.

Thank you.  I just pushed a fix.  If it builds cleanly, I'll bump the
version number later.

Best regards.

For the convenience of the list, this is the change:

I think that it is regrettable to revert to this "hack", but it seems
that there is no way around it if we want to distribute both in the same
package (which I think is preferable overall).
