What's needed is a minimal recipe, which involves only the one (or perhaps = two) libraries that repro the problem. Maybe the problem is only in help-fns+.el. Or maybe it's only in dired+.el= . Or maybe it was only in an old byte-compiled help-fns+.el. The point is that as long as multiple things are loaded it's hard to know w= hat's going on, especially at a distance. Ideally, it would be narrowed down to a single library, and even to just so= me of the code in that library. My guess now, based on the fact that help-fns+.el redefines `describe-packa= ge' (to add a cross-reference to the manuals), is that help-fns+.el alone i= s probably causing (or probably caused) the problem. And if the problem was only with an older help-fns+.elc (byte-compiled) the= n that's probably the explanation. The library has two different definitio= ns of `describe-package', depending on which Emacs version you have (becaus= e they changed the vanilla code for it, on which the library's code is base= d). If your older Emacs version was prior to Emacs 24.4 then the older definiti= on of `describe-package' was used in the byte-compiled file. And that like= ly won't work with Emacs 24.4 or later. It would be good to know for sure that that was the problem. But if you no= longer have the old help-fns+.elc (byte-compiled before Emacs 24.4) then t= here's probably no way to reproduce the problem anymore. --- Anyway, I see now that Noam has replied more or less the same thing, and ha= s closed the bug report. Thanks for reporting the problem and trying to track it down. Sorry to all= for the trouble. > >> I have much snow to shovel here - may not check email for several hour= s. > > That'll probably keep you healthy. Good shoveling. > Starting now ... Just don't overdo it. ;-) Good luck.
