Hi. Yes, also, it works for me too.
I think the right thing to do is probably to downgrade this bug until
we are able to come up with a better repro. You're aware of
emacs -q ?
TBH I'm no longer sure, reading this report, that your bug is anytbing
to do with VM. Maybe the message about cl is a red herring.
In a clean sid setup I don't get the message about cl any more. I
forget what the details of that were but I think it was in one of
emacs's dependencies. Maybe it's been sorted out.
$ emacs -q -batch -f save-buffers-kill-emacs

Bug#977918: vm: Package vm prevents clean emacs27 start
Package: vm Version: 8.2.0b-6 Severity: serious Using the (awesome !!) newer emacs 27.1, I am having issues with package vm. One issue is that on startup, a message 'Package cl is deprecated' is shown. Startup appears to finish in interactive, but does not in daemon mode which is how I used to use emacs. So the message prevents daemon mode from working. Moreover, some googling reveals that 'cl' is indeed deprecated and vm ideally should move on from it. An upgrade would be great, but it is not clear how active upstream still is. A fix / update to vm would be awesome. It's been my goto mail client since forever. And of course in a minimal container with just emacs27 and vm the issue does not reproduce. While I have a lot of general programming stuff in .emacs, there is not that much relative to vm so I am a little ... stumped. Dirk -- https://dirk.eddelbuettel.com | @eddelbuettel | e...@debian.org
