bug#22570: 24.5; [debbugs 0.9] encoding issue

[Mark Oteiza]

With debbugs 0.9, doing M-x debbugs-gnu RET results in unknown symbol
spam (see Recent messages: below).

As an example, the first obvious problem I see in the *Emacs Bugs*
buffer is

22549 normal               [Óscar Fuentes      ] 25.0.50; Tooltips placed outside of screen limits

I think Andreas fixed this in async.el in ELPA.  But perhaps a new
version hasn't been pushed?  What's required to do that?  Just update
the version number?

Oh, I see--thanks for pointing that out. Alas, I don't know the workings
of ELPA.

It was pushed, see commit 9e186e9 in ELPA.  Maybe Mark is still using
the old version?

There's a problem with a package located on different elpa servers. I've
also updated to async 1.6 from GNU ELPA. But some days later, this was
overwritten by automatic package upgrade with async 20160108.1249 from
melpa, which does not contain the fix of Andreas.

How could I pin async to be updated only from GNU ELPA? And no, I don't
want to remove melpa from package-archives; there are other packages I'm
interested in.

Best regards, Michael.

Take a look at the new features in package.el introduced lately, I
hope some of them will let you do what you want.  (I don't use
package.el, so I cannot give a precise recipe, sorry.)

Adding "gnu" to `package-archive-priorities' does the job. Thanks!

Best regards, Michael.

You also need the fixed soap-client.
