Hi all,
as my usual habit, now and then I recompile the master version of Emacs, and
so I did this morning.
Everything seemed ok until I tried to read some news with Gnus: whenever I try
to enter into any of the groups I'm subscribed, I get the following error
(refilled)
gnus-request-group: Wrong type argument: vectorp, #s(hash-table size 39 test
equal rehash-size 1.5 rehash-threshold 0.8125 data ("dummy.group" (nil
("dummy.group" 0 nil)) "nndraft:drafts" (1 ("nndraft:drafts" 1 nil nil
(nndraft "") ((gnus-dummy (gnus-draft-mode))))) "gmane.comp.python.general"
(19 ("gmane.comp.python.general" 3 ((1 . 827724) 827727 827729) ((unexist)
....
I saw Eric Abrahamsen's commits related to changing some internal storage from
obarrays to hash tables, and I guess my problem is due to that: I switched
back to commit bc2a93d5b7c3d749b31927452e31b32bdb1b9108 and everything works
again.
I did not find any mention about required "migrations" of existing .newsrc.eld
in the NEWS, nor in the commits.
Am I missing something or are those changes still in flux?
Thank you for any hint,
ciao, lele.

When you bump into a problem in the development code, please please
pretty please, don't ask gnu.emacs.help for help to circumvent
it, but tell Emacs developers about the problem (M-x report-emacs-bug).

They're only in flux as long as people report problems about them.

Sure, you are right, will try again tomorrow morning and will do that.
Thank you,
ciao, lele.

Actually all you need to do is delete stale *elc files from under
lisp/gnus/ and run "make" again. You can also run "make bootstrap" to
the same effect, but that will take longer.
It's annoying, but apparently unavoidable...

This just to confirm that the problem is solved following Eric's hint (in my
case, I opted for the bootstrap variant).
Thanks a lot,
ciao, lele.
