Thank you for the filing. On IRC, Nicholas pointed out that it is not clear elpa-dash should be providing elpa-dash-functional at all without providing the empty upstream transitional dash-functional.el, which it is not at present. So instead I'm going to patch and team-upload all remaining packages depending on elpa-dash-functional to not do so, and then drop the Provides. -- Sean Whitton signature.asc Description: PGP signature
