Hi Emacs-devel,
Viewing the package description for a package that has two maintainers
fails with the following error:
describe-package-1: Wrong type argument: char-or-string-p
This can be observed with emacs -Q. Steps to reproduce.
- M-x list-packages
- Navigate to csharp-mode from GNU ELPA
- Press RET to view the package description
- Observe error
