Continuing to backtrace from el-get-methods to that module's
dependencies, I got to el-get-elp and find that when the following
expression at
or about line 17 of el-get.el
(require 'package nil t)
is executed, the error occurs. :) - it's that darn 'package package again.
I don't see how that sexp would cause a problem.
If package.el(c) is already loaded then that
does nothing. And if it can't be loaded it
also does nothing (no error). Maybe the cause
is nearby?
Anyway, consider reporting what you've found
as a bug: `M-x report-emacs-bug), providing
a more or less minimal step-by-step recipe
to repro it, starting from `emacs -Q'. Thx.
