Can you also try the following command that does that and see whether you can reproduce the issue? ,----[ Minialist command with trasient loaded ] | emacs -Q --eval "(progn (add-to-list 'load-path \"/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/magit-4.3.5\") (add-to-list 'load-path \"/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/llama-0.6.2\") (add-to-list 'load-path \"/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/magit-section-4.3.5\") (add-to-list 'load-path \"/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/with-editor-3.4.3\") (add-to-list 'load-path \"/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/transient-0.8.8\") (require 'magit))" `---- This should help determine whether anything related to the transient-0.8.8 installation is causing issues. >>I'll dig a little more. > > No joy at all :-( > > For now I've gone back to elpa-magit from bookworm so I can continue > working.

If so, can you remove it and retry? In that spirit, you can also try to remove the native compilation files and regenerate them to see if that helps (they will regenerate next time you launch Emacs after removal), which is usually named `eln-cache' and located under the Emacs configuration directory (~/.config/emacs or ~/.emacs.d). Also I would suggest to add `(setq load-prefer-newer t)' to your init.el if you haven't done so, which should avoid most of the cache related issues. > -- > Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK.
