Update should respect dependencies between packages #25

Closed jacobilsoe closed 8 years ago

jacobilsoe commented 8 years ago

If two packages, A and B, are due to be updated and A depends on B then B should be updated first and then A. Right now the update order seems to be determined by the ordering in package-activated-list.

Have you seen this yield some kind of problem?

I never noticed any. (I think there might be problems with byte compilation, but I don't know enough to be sure)

Well, I just got an error updating magit:

Error installing with-editor Error installing magit-popup magit up to date.

If I do it (U and then x) from list-packages everything works just fine. So I am not sure it is a dependency problem, but something is different when using apu.

My bad. I had some bad elc files (pointing to files in a non-existing directory). I just found it a bit strange that apu did not work when list-packages did.

rranelli commented 8 years ago

no problem :)

Thanks for using the package and documenting the issue for future reference :+1:
