Elpaca Version

Elpaca 4ad20d9 grafted, HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD installer: 0.8 emacs-version: GNU Emacs 30.1 (build 2, x86_64-suse-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.50, cairo version 1.18.4) git --version: git version 2.49.0

Operating System

opensuse tumbleweed

Description

same error as this one: https://github.com/progfolio/elpaca/issues/222

According to the wiki getting this error on a stable version is a bug.

This error appeared after I reinstalled tumbleweed and copied my init.el over to the new installation. To the best of my memory I've never encountered this error.

Your version of Elpaca is from before the release of the Emacs version you're using. Upgrading Elpaca should fix the issue:

1. M-x elpaca-update elpaca
2. Copy over the latest installer into your init.el (otherwise you'll get a warning about that being out of date when restarting)
3. Save init.el
4. M-x restart-emacs

[progfolio]

The above procedure should take care of the issue. Feel free to comment if it does not. Thank you.

I had the same issue, and I was on 0.10 so far. Upgraded emacs, got the error message.

I followed the steps you provided progfolio, but now as I result I get two error messages:

• Init installer version does not match /home/.../elpaca/builds/elpaca/doc/installer.el
• Unable to determine elpaca-core-date

EDIT: AH my bad, I think this was caused by me having a lock file specified, so I haven't really updated the elpaca package!
