Further notes

Thanks for the bug report @glenaddict - so evil can't load calc? That seems strange. Did you build without it, or has emacs 29 broken being able to require it? Does calc appear when you M-x for it? If so, does it work? We can always make evil fail loading it silent, but I'd like to understand if there's an issue with emacs 29 or your build of it first.

calc is not available when I M-x package-install calc.

I installed emacs-snapshot from ppa:ubuntu-elisp/ppa which gave me emacs 29.0.50.

I have now reverted back to emacs 28.1 and evil is working again (thankfully)

I think there is a problem with emacs 29 for sure

Thanks for the update @glenaddict . I'll mark this as closed (for housekeeping) but will reopen it if you (or anyone else) finds that the issue does in fact lie with evil.
