10 years ago Hi Tom,
Pallet doesn't at present work correctly on Emacs trunk, owing to quite large changes in package.el. @dudebout contributed a patch in #12, which hasn't been merged as I didn't feel it was quite ready. I am working to fix the issue properly, but if you need to use Emacs trunk, you can use the #12 patch if you wish.
My advice would be to stick with the official release for the moment, though -- it's not always realistic to expect everything to work in a prerelease.

I'm on ubuntu 12.04, using emacs built from source this pm, and the latest Cask. If this should be x-posted as a Cask issue, I can do that.
When deleting a package from the "package-list-packages" interface, i get the following error: Wrong type argument: stringp, (lambda (ad--addoit-function package-name version) #("Advice function assembled by advice.el." 0 39 (dynamic-docstring-function ad--make-advised-docstring)) (let (ad-return-value) (setq ad-return-value (with-no-warnings (funcall ad--addoit-function package-name))) (pt/maybe-unpack-on-delete package-name) ad-return-value))
Adding (setq pallet-unpack-on-delete nil) to my init.el so that it looks like (require 'cask "~/.cask/cask.el") (cask-initialize) (require 'pallet) (setq pallet-unpack-on-delete nil) does not change this.
There aren't any other user-accessible variables beginning with "pallet-" and the ones starting with "cask-" seem correct.
Cask file before and after trying to delete "ag": (source "melpa" "http://melpa.milkbox.net/packages/")
(depends-on "[cl-struct-package-desc ag (20131103 1957) A front-end for ag ('the silver searcher'), the C ack replacement. [github] nil single melpa nil nil nil]") (depends-on "pallet")
This has also prevented me from upgrading packages.
