Hi,
after updating to TW 20200824 with emacs-27.1-2.1.x86_64 (previously I
had some emacs 26), very many actions fail with error:
Wrong type argument: stringp, (require . info)
For example, I cannot even enter org-mode by simply M-x org-mode in
the *scratch* buffer. I also cannot run notmuch and keep getting this
error repeatedly in list-packages buffer.
I have tracked this down to melpa packages magit and/or emacs-jabber.
When I delete the directory .emacs.d/elpa and install my usual packages
but not any of these two, the problem goes away. If I install one of
them, it reappears. The packages are not part of TW and therefore I am
not submitting a bug but I assume there must be quite a few magit users
here and so I'm asking whether anyone has dealt with this or has any
ideas what to do. I must say that my world is going to be a worse place
without magit.
Even with the packages installed, the problem also does not happen when
I run directly emacs-x11, emacs-gtx or emacs-nox but does happen even
when I unset DISPLAY and run emacs (and sure enough, --no-x-resources
has no effect either). IIUC, the /usr/bin/emacs is a SUSE specific
script and therefore I suspect it may also be a problem with our
packaging.
The simplest backtrace is from attempting to enter org-mode:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument stringp (require . info))
string-match("\\(\\`\\|/\\)imenu\\(\\.elc\\|\\.el\\|\\.so\\)?\\(\\.gz\\)?\\'" (require . info))

Another notable difference between running just emacs and emacs-x11,
emacs-gtk or emacs-nox is that the latter three only spit the following
(only slightly annoying) line in the terminal:
Warning: game dir '/var/games/emacs': Permission denied
whereas running just emacs with no suffix then goes on with much more:

so it seems there is quite a bit more going on when running just emacs.
But of course I do not know whether it is in any way related.
I'll be grateful for any suggestions how to fix the problem.
