Emacs 25 - Package Errors Prelude

[MortalCatalyst]

There is an error on ubuntu using snapshot emacs insalling prelude.

Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading ‘/home/sayth/.emacs.d/init.el’:

error: Error retrieving: https://melpa.org/packages/logito-20120225.1255.el "incomprehensible buffer"

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file. Start Emacs with
the ‘--debug-init’ option to view a complete error backtrace

i have found a similar issue on spacemacs syl20bnr/spacemacs#3854

The solution on that issue is to add this to the top of the init.el file

(load-library "url-handlers")

I tried this as a solution for prelude, it however doesn't work for prelude, any ideas?

[ethanluoyc]

I experienced the same issue with Homebrew version of the emacs

[syohex]

I suppose this issue was already fixed. Please upgrade to latest version.

Can confirm that latest prelude works with emacs 25:

➜  ~  brew install emacs --devel --with-cocoa
....

Got the same error with GNU Emacs 25.1.50.2 on Ubuntu and a clean prelude on a fresh installation.
It seems that if the logito has been already compiled, prelude starts correctly even with Emacs25.
It fails only when it tries to download and compile it.

[MortalCatalyst]

Yes same as @BrunoBonacci Fresh install of emacs and prelude on ubuntu and logito error still exists.

[petro-rudenko]

Same for me. Even removing logito dependencies have the same error for another package:

Adding (load-library "url-handlers") didn't help as well. Emacs version GNU Emacs 25.1.50.2

[BrunoBonacci]

After an update of the upstream Emacs version this appear to be fixed. If nobody else is experiencing this issue I suggest to close the ticket.
