Package: emacs-el
Version: 1:28.2+1-15
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
On starting emacs 28 in bookworm various warnings are displayed because
elisp source files (mostly for) org-mode are not found.
There are broken symlinks to source files in the directory /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/org-9.4/
The symlinks point to files in the directory /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa-src/org-9.4/ which
does not exist.
Listed below are the warning messages

[snip]
Thank you for filing this bug Balbir! I wonder if you reported this
against emacs-el, because your hypothesis is that this is an
Emacs28-related bug? Two things that stand out in your list to me are
esxml, and markdown-mode, because these are elpa-only packages that
don't overlap with files provided by emacs-el. Consequently, I wonder
if this bug is on the dh-elpa side rather than the emacs-el side.
I have the following list, with the notable omission of org mode,
because I had uninstalled elpa-org before upgrading from bullseye to
bookworm:
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/seq-2.22/seq.elc
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/seq-2.22/seq-25.elc
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/git-commit-2.99.0/git-commit.elc
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/dash-2.17.0/dash.elc
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/transient-0.2.0.30/transient.elc
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/async-1.9.3/async-bytecomp.elc
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/async-1.9.3/async.elc
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/with-editor-3.0.2/with-editor.elc
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/hl-todo-3.1.2/hl-todo.elc
> There are broken symlinks to source files in the directory /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/org-9.4/

I suspect bullseye2bookworm is a trigger condition, and here an example
of where things get weird:
Given /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/with-editor-3.0.2/with-editor.elc
# dpkg -S /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/with-editor-3.0.2/with-editor.elc
dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/with-editor-3.0.2/with-editor.elc
# cruft /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/
returns no matches
Cruft should find matches, but doesn't ! Yes, I've also done a full
cruft run, and have grepped for with-editor, for example.
One final bit of data:
Your list has
/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/markdown-mode-2.4/markdown-mode.elc
but mine doesn't. I remember that I had manually upgraded to
elpa-markdown 2.5 long ago, so this was the version that was present
during the bullseye2bookworm upgrade. Consequently, it seems that the
version of the elpa-foo package needs to change during bullseye2bookworm
process in order to trigger this bug.
'hope this helps identify what's going on!

Nicholas

And elpa-dash-functional, elpa-loop, elpa-transient were all purged when i upgraded to bookworm (same aptitude run that upgraded dh-elpa and the other emacs packages)
(do say if other info helpful and/or if this is not helping)

After upgrading to bookworm I also got bitten by this issue. Otherwise
the upgrade went smoothly.
I noted that at least for some of the superfluous files, the cruft tool
(from package cruft-ng) reports that a file belongs to the package
emacs, while it does not according to dpkg -L or dpkg -S:
# cruft /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/org-9.4/org.elc
emacs
# dpkg -L emacs
/.
/usr
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/emacs
/usr/share/doc/emacs/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/emacs/copyright
(I do not know who’s the culprit here, just noting in case other people
who read this have a better understanding.)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Since I was not sure what’s going on and I needed a properly working
Emacs installation quickly, I simply uninstalled all packages named by
“dpkg -S /usr/share/emacs”, removed /usr/share/emacs (which contained
a lot of cruft at that point), and reinstalled the previously removed
packages again.
the upgrade went smoothly.
I noted that at least for some of the superfluous files, the cruft tool
(from package cruft-ng) reports that a file belongs to the package
emacs, while it does not according to dpkg -L or dpkg -S:
# cruft /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/org-9.4/org.elc
emacs
# dpkg -L emacs
/.
/usr
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/emacs
/usr/share/doc/emacs/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/emacs/copyright
(I do not know who’s the culprit here, just noting in case other people
who read this have a better understanding.)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Since I was not sure what’s going on and I needed a properly working
Emacs installation quickly, I simply uninstalled all packages named by
“dpkg -S /usr/share/emacs”, removed /usr/share/emacs (which contained
a lot of cruft at that point), and reinstalled the previously removed
packages again.
