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.

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.
