Hi,

I am running emacs 26.1 under Debian Buster on my PC and on my laptop.

On my laptop I get the following messages whenever I open a file:

=====

Warning (emacs): Unable to activate package ‘helm-core’.
Required package ‘emacs-24.4’ is unavailable
Warning (emacs): Unable to activate package ‘helm’.
Required package ‘emacs-24.4’ is unavailable [2 times]

=====

What do I need 'helm'  for?

What do I have to do to not receive these messages anymore?

Thanks for any hints.

K.D.J.

Evidently, you do not need helm.

M-x package-delete RET helm C-j

Debian also does you "favors". You should look through their 
customizations as well; you can find them in /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp.

I know that on my version they mucked with find-file-hook and 
automatically invoke develock-mode. I undid the former in my .emacs. I'm 
still deciding if I like the latter.

If this is what winning looks like, I'd hate to see what losing is.
