emacs 28 Eager macro-expansion failure: wrong-number-of-arguments

[parsifal9]

Hi ess,

When I start emacs I get the error message Eager macro-expansion failure: (wrong-number-of-arguments (3 . 4) 2) and R/ ess wont work. This just started after an upgrade: ess-version: 18.10.2 [Released git: d4cd65da6dbf] (loaded from /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa-src/) GNU Emacs 28.0.50 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.22.30, cairo version 1.15.10) of 2021-01-20

I see another forum suggesting that the problem is a recent change to "define-obsolete-function-alias" But I dont know if that is helpful or not.

The trace is

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-number-of-arguments (3 . 4) 2)
  #f(compiled-function (obsolete-name current-name when &optional docstring) "Set OBSOLETE-NAME's function definition to CURRENT-NAME and mark it obsolete.\n\n(define-obsolete-function-alias \\='old-fun \\='new-fun \"22.1\" \"old-fun's doc.\")\n\nis equivalent to the following two lines of code:\n\n(defalias \\='old-fun \\='new-fun \"old-fun's doc.\")\n(make-obsolete \\='old-fun \\='new-fun \"22.1\")\n\nWHEN should be a string indicating when the function was first\nmade obsolete, for example a date or a release number.\n\nSee the docstrings of `defalias' and `make-obsolete' for more details." #<bytecode -0xd1aaa8a81ac24a8>)('ess-r-devtools-check-package-buildwin 'ess-r-devtools-check-with-winbuilder)

This is a duplicate of #1085 and is already fixed.

It still seems to be there.
