Dear List, I'm trying to use apt-utils (from emacs-goodies.el) to handle my packages. Going through the documentation, I tried: M-x apt-utils-show-package Emacs takes some time to do its job, and then gives me the error "Wrong type argument: symbolp, (quote t)" Any help would be greatly appreciated.
