I updated emacs, from git, this morning. It'd been a while (several
months) since I had last built emacs so I expected some (usually subtle)
changes. However, I have an error that comes up every time I try to add
or delete a single ELPA etc. package:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp (evil ...))
#<subr string-lessp>((evil ...) julia-mode)
package--save-selected-packages((golden-ratio [...] gnuplot (evil ...) which-key ...))
package--update-selected-packages(nil (#s(package-desc :name hyperbole :version (9 0 0) :summary "GNU Hyperbole: The Everyday Hypertextual Information Manager" :reqs ((emacs (27 1))) :kind nil :archive nil :dir "/home/ucecesf/.emacs.d/elpa,v30/hyperbole-9.0.0" :extras ((:url .

package-menu-execute()
funcall-interactively(package-menu-execute)
command-execute(package-menu-execute)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
Long list of packages in above elided but what is interesting is the
third line which has a list that starts with golden-ratio and then,
after gnuplot, there is a list as an entry, after which are more
packages. Not sure why this is happening so any pointers would be
welcome.
Thank you,
eric
PS - I'm trying to remove the hyperbole package because it seems to have
annoyingly hijacked eww-browse-url.

Answering my own question: it seems that something, along the way,
screwed up the package-selected-packages entry in the customization part
of my init files, the part that is updated by the customize- methods
etc. Fixed that and everything seems fine now. Sorry for the noise.
thank you,
eric

I also had seen this. But I did not have to intervene manually - AFAIR,
make bootstrap was the solution.

Thank you; I always build Emacs using `make -j 20 bootstrap`.
Somehow, something, somewhere, modified the custom variables entry.
Easily fixed, luckily.
