Emacs packages fails install due missing deps: pkg-info and dash

Question

I get the following error when installing a set of packages for my emacs client (clojure-mode)

Warning (emacs): Unable to activate package pkg-info'. Required packagedash-1.6.0' is unavailable Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading `/home/skinney/.emacs.d/init.el':

Wrong type argument: stringp, nil

How do I solve this? A google search reveals nothing :/

Answer 1

As @lunaryorn noted this was caused by a bug in the EPL package. See the discussion here for the details.

The new version is already on MELPA. If updating does not work for you - you might have to remove EPL and reinstall EPL manually.
