Package: elpa-ess
Version: 18.10.2+git20220915.f45542e-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
X-Debbugs-Cc: Hugh.Pumphrey@gmail.com

Dear Maintainer,



   * What led up to the situation?

I (as a long time user of R and the Emacs ESS mode) upgraded from 
bullseye to bookworm. 
   * What exactly did you do (or not do)

Attempted to edit an R source file in Emacs. (I am using emacs-lucid on 
account of Bug#1043326 in emacs-gtk, but the bug I report here occurs
in both emacs-lucid and emacs-gtk.)

   * What was the outcome of this action?

ESS mode fails to start up and many error and warning messages are
emitted --- see below.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

I expected ESS mode to start as normal, as it did for many debian releases
before bookworm. 

To check that this was not some oddity of upgrading from bullseye to 
bookworm I purged packages ess and elpa-ess and re-installed them; the 
problem did not go away.

The error message appeared to be:

File mode specification error: (error Loading file 
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/ess-18.10.3snapshot/ess-rd.el 
failed to provide feature 'essddr')

A buffer containing many warning messages appeared which I copy here:

Thanks for your feedback. No worry, the fact that the directory had not
been removed on upgrade may be a bug (though I was not able to
reproduce it).

I am hereby closing this bug report.

Best,
