bug#18332: 24.3.93; Convenience is a malformed function when installing ELPA package

[Fabrice Niessen]

Hello,

When installing the Helm-R package, I get the error:

    `"convenience"' is a malformed function
    (see http://screencast.com/t/IMvYxcryH7T)

regarding the file `helm-R-pkg.el' whose contents is:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define-package "helm-R" "20120819.1714" "helm-sources and some utilities for GNU R." '((helm "20120517") (ess "20120509")) :url "https://github.com/myuhe/helm-R.el" :keywords ("convenience"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Adding a quote in front of the `keywords' list does solve the problem,
but Stefan said it wasn't a problem in the thread
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2014-02/msg00172.html.

I don't understand if it/what is wrong, then...

Best regards.

IIUC the helm-R-pkg.el is malformed and so the same applies as the last
time this was reported:

    Presumably re-running package-install or causing make to rebuild
    this file should fix the problem, but if it doesn't, give us some
    details.

(It looks like that file is pretty old, since it has dates in 2012.)

No, he said whether "nil" was quoted or not did not matter.

It seems helm-R is not maintained anymore, there is no more activity on this
since months.

OK, misreminded that stuff.

Anyway, I got the exact same problem in many other "ELPA" packages
(Dired+, Helm, YASnippet, etc.) though not all (not in Dired-single,
Fuzzy, Idle-require to name a few).

Half wrong, half right. I had to delete the package-pkg.el(c) files, in
order to be able to launch Cygwin Emacs-w32. Dunno why the exact same
config works with native Emacs, and not with Cygwin, why both programs
go and fetch their packages at the same place on my file system...

I need more hints on this. Maybe things will clear up in the future?

Best regards,
Fabrice

IIUC:
If the problematic pkg.el file is on the server that you get the
packages from, then that's a problem with that server and you should
report it to whoever admins it.

If it is not on the server but instead generated on your machine when
you install the package, then please provide a minimum example starting
from emacs -Q that shows the problem.

I understood that the problem depends on which Emacs version I'm using
to install the packages:

- with Emacs 24.3.1, it's OK: "keywords" list is correctly QUOTED in the
  generated `xxx-pkg.el' file.

- with Emacs 24.3.93.1 (of 2014-08-15), it's NOT, as you can see on
  http://screencast.com/t/ilxgafLbh.

Don't know about the error, indeed.  I've fixed the two problems I saw
in the above test (first problem: the yasnippet-pkg.el file was
re-generated rather than just using the one that's in the tarball;
second problem: the file we generated did not properly quote the
arguments, hence the compilation warning).

I don't have any error, neither, when installing the package. Not even
when launching a new GNU Emacs (the w32 binary version).

I only do have an error when launching a Cygwin Emacs...

In a nutshell, Emacs 24.3.93.1 produces:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define-package "yasnippet" "20140821.38" "Yet another snippet extension for Emacs." 'nil :url "http://github.com/capitaomorte/yasnippet" :keywords ("convenience" "emulation"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

instead of:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define-package "yasnippet" "20140821.38" "Yet another snippet extension for Emacs." 'nil :url "http://github.com/capitaomorte/yasnippet" :keywords '("convenience" "emulation"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

For a reason which still escapes me, only Cygwin Emacs bugs because
"convenience" is not a function.

w32 binaries don't say anything, and load the packages properly!?

I (manually) patched the package.el file and removed the package.elc one.
