Too bad, because in my experience `set-face-attribute` is more often a problem than a solution. Maybe you should try to use `face-spec-set` instead. Regarding your problem with `package-selected-packages`, I plead guilty. Not sure how best to address that problem. In the short term, you can try something like (advice-add 'package--save-selected-packages :override #'ignore) tho it probably comes with other undesirable side-effects. I suggest you file a bug report (and send me the bug#nb) so we can discuss alternatives (and if you filed one already, just send me the bug#nb). Stefan
