bug#42896: 27.1; startup error after un update

[Waleed Yousef]

After an emacs update, when I start gnus it gives me this error message:

Since this looks like a Helm bug and not an Emacs bug, I'm closing this
bug report.  If this is an Emacs bug after all, please send a mail to
the debbugs address, and we'll reopen.

[Waleed Yousef]

Thanks so much for reply. I renamed the registry to
(.gnus.registry.eieio.recent) and started gnus. The same problem
exists; moreover, gnus did not initialize another registry even when I
prompted manually gnus-registry-initialize

Ok, then we need some more information to investigate.

Can you please post a backtrace of the error?  Thx.

And: Does Gnus start normally if you turn off using the Gnus registry in
your setup?

TIA,

Michael.

It opens fine without registry file. For backtrace, I sent it in the
previous email. Can you please detail what exactly I should provide.

I can't find a backtrace in your messages - maybe it got lost.  Could
you please resend it?

Thanks,

Sorry, can you please guide me how I should provide it? Which command?

Sure.

You basically only need to set the variable `debug-on-error' to t,
e.g. with

  M-: (setq debug-on-error t) RET

This will make the debugger pop-up for most kinds of errors.  Then
reproduce the error with your recipe and post the contents of the
debugger buffer.

Detail: the debugger buffer will have more readable contents if you load
the elisp sources of the related elisp files before.  You can get an
idea of which packages are involved by looking for the names of the
called functions in the debugger.  Probably loading "gnus-registry.el"
should be good enough.  You can use the command `find-library' to find
the source files, and use e.g. `load-buffer', or L from dired, to load
it.

When done, set `debug-on-error' back to nil:

  M-: (setq debug-on-error nil) RET

Does that work for you?


TIA,

Michael.

Thanks so much. I put the statement at the top of .gnus.el, then started
gnus. The error is:

'gnus-desktop-notify-check' is not part of Emacs, it comes from the
gnus-desktop-notify package, perhaps that needs updating or fixing.

There is no explicit call of `intern-soft' in the code of that package,
however.

Waleed, could you please try if you get a more meaningful backtrace when
you also load the source of "gnus-desktop-notify.el"?

Or does the issue maybe disappear when you disable
`gnus-desktop-notify-mode'?


TIA,

Michael.

[Waleed Yousef]

Yes; it seems so. The error disappeared when I disabled the notify mode.

Thanks

gnus-desktop-notify-check uses the macro gnus-group-unread, which used
intern-soft prior to Eric's porting Gnus to real hash tables.

Instead of disabling gnus-desktop-notify, try recompiling the package,
or uninstalling and reinstalling it.  This should allow
gnus-desktop-notify to use the new code for real hash tables.

Yup.  In any case, this doesn't look like a Gnus bug, so I'm re-closing
this bug report.
