Re: emacs-vertico not working with emacs-next outside of a container

[Jake <jforst.mailman@gmail.com>]

This error was reported upstream
https://github.com/minad/vertico/discussions/501

A solution posted in that thread worked for me:
Delete the eln-cache directory in the user-emacs-directory

Cheers
Jake
