package-initialize fails with File error: Cannot open load file, inversion #155

Closed tibbe closed 11 years ago

tibbe commented 11 years ago

Using a pristine checkout of emacs-starter-kit v1, Emacs 23.1.1, and no user-specific config, init.el fails to load with this error:

File error: Cannot open load file, inversion

Starting emacs with --debug-init gives this backtrace:

technomancy commented 11 years ago

Looks like gist.el has been updated with a new version that requires Emacs 24. Might be able to work around it by removing references to the gist package.

tibbe commented 11 years ago

I can confirm that removing the mention of gist in starter-kit-elpa.el works around the issue.

anno1337 commented 9 years ago

Works for me too. Thanks.
