Hi Philip,

So there appears to be a bug somewhere in the package-vc library.
With a slight modification of `package-vc-install-dependencies', we can
see in which order the dependencies are installed:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(package-vc-install-dependencies (package-desc-reqs (cadr (assoc 'ement
package-archive-contents))))
;=> (:to-install (svg-lib persist plz taxy taxy-magit-section) :missing nil)
; ^ mapc runs over this
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
This made me suspect that there might be a bug in that function, and
with these changes, the above command works
Great.
(I can't test it because my matrix account AFAIK isn't supported by
Ement):
This is a bit off-topic, but would you please explain what you mean (via
private email would be fine)? AFAIK Ement.el should support any Matrix
account on any homeserver. If you've encountered a bug trying to use
it, I'd like to fix it.
It boils down to a lack-of-type-safety kind of bug. It was comparing
'package-name with (package-name . "version string"), that always ends
up being nil.
I've encountered similar issues when dealing with package.el functions.
The inconsistent use of types can be challenging to work with.
Not sure about the change to `dependent-order', I'll have to think about
that in more detail tomorrow. Perhaps there is an all-together shorter
patch?
It seems like a reasonable patch to me.
Is there any chance of getting this fix to Emacs 29 users, either via a
29.2 release or by putting a new version of package-vc on GNU ELPA? It
would be a shame for this great new feature to be unusable (or
unreliable) until Emacs 30 is released.
Thanks for your work,
Adam
