Package: dh-elpa-helper
Version: 2.0.8
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I got this cryptic error when I installed elpa-company on a machine
where the root user had elpa packages already installed under
/root/.emacs.d/elpa: 

Setting up elpa-company (0.9.13-2) ...
Install emacsen-common for emacs
emacsen-common: Handling install of emacsen flavor emacs
Install elpa-company for emacs
install/company-0.9.13: Handling install of emacsen flavor emacs
install/company-0.9.13: byte-compiling for emacs

In toplevel form:
async-tests.el:22:1:Error: Cannot open load file: No such file or directory, company-tests

[... snip many similar errors ...]

In toplevel form:
template-tests.el:22:1:Error: Cannot open load file: No such file or directory, company-tests

In toplevel form:
transformers-tests.el:22:1:Error: Cannot open load file: No such file or directory, company-tests
ERROR: install script from elpa-company package failed
dpkg: error processing package elpa-company (--configure):
 installed elpa-company package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 elpa-company
E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)


The problem seems to be that it picks up the root user's local company
package from package-user-dir in preference to the Debian package in
package-directory-list.

The patch below overrides package-user-dir to point at the Debian elpa
source directory. Not sure if there's a better way to fix this but it
resolves the problem for me and seems more robust.
