I loaded emacs -q, ran list-packages, look at the info for help-fns+.el and understood that it would need to be re-compiled with a newer version of emacs. I just re-compiled help-fns+.el as per instructions in the info file and the problem is solved. I have much snow to shovel here - may not check email for several hours. Hopefully further testing won't turn up further hiccups. cheers tim On 2/20/20 12:30 PM, Noam Postavsky wrote: > Tim Johnson writes: > >> Noam, I am not familiar with edebug. >> >> Can you give me some more code examples? > Basically just put point on the source code of describe-package, and hit > C-u C-M-x, that will instrument the function.
