bug#15218: End of file during parsing only for byte compiled files

I'm not sure when you see that error (is it when loading the package or
when installing it?).  Assuming it's when loading it, could it be that
you're loading the package in a version of Emacs noticeably older than
the one that compiled the files?

The elpa package is supposed to come without any .elc files, and the .el
files are supposed to be byte-compiled during installation.  Did this
work correctly?
