Cannot open load file" "No such file or directory" "macports-reclaim

[ferdy]

Ciao,

I got the error in the subject as soon as I type "M-x macports"

I use to manage packages via paradox:

macports                               h 20220509.1326        installed                                                A porcelain for MacPorts

debug-on-error log follows:

 Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-missing "Cannot open load file" "No such file or directory" "macports-reclaim")

I build emacs from git source on MacOS 11.6.5:

(GNU Emacs 29.0.50 (build 1, x86_64-apple-darwin20.6.0, NS appkit-2022.60 Version 11.6.5 (Build 20G527)) of 2022-05-06)

thank you very much in advance (and thank you for the package itself too :-) -- ferdy

Thanks for the report.

I tried to reproduce by doing the following:

1. Run emacs -Q
2. Set up MELPA
3. Install paradox
4. Use paradox to install macports
5. Run M-x macports

But I was unable to get your result.

Can you provide some sort of minimum configuration that reproduces the issue?

[ferdy]

ciao,

my thanks for the prompt reply.

I tried this:

1. emacs -Q

2. copy&paste in the *Scratch* buffer these emacs-lisp lines:

(emacs-version)
(setq debug-on-error t)
(setq package-archives
      '(("gnu"          . "https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")
        ("melpa"        . "https://melpa.org/packages/")
    ("melpa-stable" . "https://stable.melpa.org/packages/")
    ;; ("marmelade"    . "https://marmalade-repo.org/packages/")
    ("org"          . "https://orgmode.org/elpa/")
    ("elpy"         . "http://jorgenschaefer.github.io/packages/")
    ))
(package-initialize)
(locate-library "macports")

3. evaluating each line with C-x C-e, getting these messages in *Messages* buffer:

For information about GNU Emacs and the GNU system, type C-h C-a.
Mark set
"GNU Emacs 29.0.50 (build 1, x86_64-apple-darwin20.6.0, NS appkit-2022.60 Version 11.6.5 (Build 20G527))

(("gnu" . "https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/") ("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/") ("melpa-stable" . "https://stable.melpa.org/packages/") ("org" . "https://orgmode.org/elpa/") ("elpy" . "http://jorgenschaefer.github.io/packages/"))
Package cl is deprecated
"/Users/ferdy/.emacs.d/elpa/macports-20220509.1326/macports.elc"

4. run M-x macports getting this in the *Backtrace* buffer:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-missing "Cannot open load file" "No such file or directory" "macports-reclaim")
  command-execute(macports record)
  execute-extended-command(nil "macports" "macports")
  funcall-interactively(execute-extended-command nil "macports" "macports")
  command-execute(execute-extended-command)

I would also add that I tried the same steps obtaining the same results with other versions of Emacs:

• EmacsMac.app port from macports
• 28.1 from emacsformacosx
• 28.0.92 from emacsformacosx
• night-build 20220411 from emacsformacosx

BTW, I am not an emacs-lisp wizard at all, but surely there is no "macports-reclaim" file in the installed package:

hope this helps and please let me know if you want me to do some more experiments/tests. cheers, -- ferdy

Actually I think I figured it out. I misunderstood one of the arguments to autoload: https://github.com/amake/macports.el/commit/81e3ca64b754a83aca9e9841874844b4f715518e

You can patch it locally or wait for MELPA to pick it up.

ciao, i have just upgraded from melpa to version 20220512.9 and I am not getting the error any longer. i will commence playing with the package and will let you know should any other issue will arise meanwhile I close this issue as resolved. thank you very much for your support! cheers, -- ferdy
