eldev upgrade-self always fails with wrong-type-argument

[DarwinAwardWinner]

Whenever I try to run eldev upgrade-self, I get Wrong type argument: stringp, eldev--resolve-package-archive. Running with -d gives:

$ eldev -d upgrade-self

I'm not sure how this error is being triggered, because I can't find anywhere in eldev--fetch-archive-contents where it calls expand-file-name on eldev--resolve-package-archive.

This is a duplicate of bug #10. It is fixed in master, but not released, I planned to release 0.3 with undercover plugin, but don't have much time currently...

If it is important for some reason, I can release 0.2.2.

[DarwinAwardWinner]

No, that's fine, I just didn't notice the duplicate. Whatever happens, people are going to have to manually install the next release.

Just released 0.3. When stable.melpa.org picks it up, you can just use the workaround described at https://github.com/doublep/eldev/releases/tag/0.3.
