[OS X Emacs] problem with updating packages

[Win Treese]

Hi, Johannes. Sorry to hear about the trouble.

For trying to figure this out, it would be helpful if you could do the following:

1. In the Aquamacs Help menu, click Diagnose and Report a Bug->Enter Debugger on Error
2. Try the package upgrade again

This will most likely pop up a buffer with a bunch of details about what went wrong. If you could copy and paste that to email back we can see if that has some clues.

After you copy the contents of that buffer, you can type q in it to close it, and then click the menu item again to turn off the extra reporting so it doesn’t get in your way other times.

Thanks,

Win
