http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1175487 Bug ID: 1175487 Summary: Emacs 27.1: package downloads & compilation yields "end of file during parsing" error Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: x86-64 OS: openSUSE Tumbleweed Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X11 Applications Assignee: screening-team-bugs@suse.de Reporter: philipp.reichmuth@gmail.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- DESCRIPTION Emacs 27.1 has a bug related to HTTP(S) downloads and/or package compilation that causes downloads and compilation of ELPA packages using Quelpa (https://github.com/quelpa/quelpa) to fail. Compilation of downloaded files gives an error: "error in process sentinel: End of file during parsing". Being a bit of a novice, it is hard for me to pinpoint the error, but it's reproducible when installing the Spacemacs Emacs distribution (https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/). This is because Spacemacs, upon installation, downloads and installs lots of packages. This will yield dozens of "end of file during parsing" messages. This error is usually indicative of missed parentheses, but it seems to be related to the download operation, because (a) it is not reproducible (it concerns different files every time), and (b) the files in question are downloaded from their master repositories and are unlikely to contain missing parentheses. HOW TO REPRODUCE Installation of Spacemacs according to the recommended procedure: - Delete ./emacs.d - Delete .spacemacs - Download spacemacs using `git clone --branch develop https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs ~/.emacs.d` - Start Emacs 27.1. EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR Clean installation of Spacemacs. OBSERVED BEHAVIOUR Spacemacs begins downloading and compiling packages from ELPA. A significant, but not reproducible number of these fail to compile and give the following error message: error in process sentinel: async-handle-result: End of file during parsing error in process sentinel: End of file during parsing This happens regardless of whether I use the "develop" (0.300) or the stable "master" (0.200) branch of Spacemacs, and regardless of whether I use HTTPS or HTTP (with `emacs --insecure`). Different packages are concerned every time.
