Subject: | bug#65053: 30.0.50; Emacs falsely recommends removal of explicitly installed |
Date: | Fri, 4 Aug 2023 17:15:30 +0200 |
I am encountering a peculiar issue with Emacs's package management system where it is falsely recommending the removal of packages that I have explicitly installed via package-install. One such example is the markdown-mode package.
I have installed the affected packages explicitly using M-x package-install, so they are not dependencies.
I am using Emacs's built-in package.el for package management.
This behaviour is consistent and affects packages that I want to keep.
The recommendation for removal occurs when I go to the list of packages (M-x list-packages) and press capital "U" to update packages. Emacs then prompts me to update the packages and recommends certain packages for removal, even though I want to keep them.
I have checked the usual scenarios such as package dependencies and made sure I am using the correct installation method. I am unable to identify why this is happening.
This thread provides a workaround but does not explain why the package is excluded or indicate that it is a problem that will be rectified:
How does package-autoremove decide which packages to remove?
Why is Emacs recommending the removal of these explicitly installed packages, and is this behaviour which I have observed for a long time going to be fixed?
Emacs Version: 30
Any insights or guidance on this issue would be greatly appreciated!
