Hi Zack,
Thanks for the report. I am CCing David who was very helpful with the
transition to elpa-ess. I am wondering if we can address this here, or
whether I need to talk to upstream about this.
David, any thought? Is this something that (package-initialize) may fix?
Another trick to pass the "installed-in" directory to the package? Or ask
upstream?

| The bad path is coming from the 'ess-etc-directory' variable. C-h v says:
|
| ess-etc-directory is a variable defined in ‘ess-site.el’.
| Its value is "/usr/share/ess/etc/"
|
| However, the string 'ess-etc-directory' does not appear anywhere in
| ess-site.el. It appears actually to be defined in ess-utils.el, but
| if I try to re-execute the code in ess-utils.el that sets its value,
| that doesn't work either:
|
| ERROR:ess-site.el:ess-etc-directory
| Relative to ess-lisp-directory, one of the following must exist:
| ../etc/ess, ../etc, ../../etc/ess or ./etc
|
| C-h v ess-lisp-directory says:
|
| ess-lisp-directory is a variable defined in ‘ess-site.el’.
| Its value is "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/ess"
|
| That directory does exist, but it's not part of the package and I
| don't know how to debug this any further. In case it helps:

| $ ls -l /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/ess
