I'm using mac and have just encountered the same issue.

[syl20bnr]

I recently update Quelpa (yesterday), did you retry with last develop ? whitemuu <notifications@github.com> writes:

On 2018-05-07 at 3:42pm Central, did this:

cd ~/.emacs.d
git pull --rebase

Then, deleted my quelpa cache (I have my cache directory relocated from standard location) :

cd ~/.spacemacs/ded/cache
rm -rf quelpa

Result the same. Here are the relevant lines from my Messages buffer:

An error occurred while installing font-lock+ (error: (error Package lacks a "Version" or "Package-Version" header))

So, same problem.

[sebhahn]

same issue here

is there any workaround for the moment?

[UncleSniper]

If it helps any, on my machine, success seems to hinge on git config --global core.autocrlf false being set when everything is cloned.

[ddoherty03]

@UncleSniper, genius award! Deleted my ~/.emacs.d and re-cloned after setting autocrlf to false.
Also had to delete my copy of the quelpa cache, which for me was under ~/.spacemacs.d/ded/cache

After that, all packages compiled without error. Would be nice to either (1) know why the line-terminator option is breaking packages or (2) put a warning in the README about this global git option.

[sdwolfz]

Carriage return is the bane of my existence 🔥.

I'll happily merge a PR that documents this, but I am not sure where it should be put. I suspect many people copy the git command from the spacemacs.org page and will miss the setting...

[antonalekseev]

FYI, false is the default setting for core.autocrlf since git v1.7.2. See https://github.com/git/git/blob/ccdcbd54c4475c2238b310f7113ab3075b5abc9c/environment.c#L53.

Maybe it makes sense to enforce this setting via .gitattributes (https://help.github.com/articles/dealing-with-line-endings/#per-repository-settings ) file in repository (syl20bnr/spacemacs or melpa/melpa?) to make behaviour consistent regardless of user's settings.

[ddoherty03]

Would be nice if @whitemuu and @sebhahn would confirm that the git setting solved their issue.

[practicalli-johnny]

Setting autocrlf to false does not fix the issue for me. I have just had the same issue with a new install of Spacemacs on Windows 10 pro (company machine).

I deleted .emacs.d and .spacemacs and then set autocrlf to false in GitBash console window
git config --global core.autocrlf false

Cloning spacemancs, checking out develop branch and running Emacs (from GitBash) installed Spacemacs standard distribution with vim and helm with this same issue.

Spacemacs installed without issue on this machine about 4 months ago. Installing Spacemacs using master still works without this issue.

[Miciah]

@jr0cket, it looks like this issue concerns a problem installing packages (in this particular case, the font-lock+ package) when Git's autocrlf setting is wrong, and another issue, #4367, concerns a problem installing packages that come from GitHub (as opposed to MELPA; in that particular case, it's the persp-mode package, but font-lock+ is also installed from GitHub) when some configuration problem with Git prevents submodules from working properly. Have you seen #4367 and tried the solutions people have come up with there?

[practicalli-johnny]

Thanks @Miciah It does seem to have been a git issue as Magit also failed to work. Not sure what changed in my Windows setup, but it was a corporate machine, so they could have done anything to it. I gave the windows machine back now, so problem solved. Thanks again.

[peey]

This should be added to the README for sure. I spent a lot of time googling and I landed on the wrong issues. Putting it all here so it helps the discoverability of this thread

I was actually getting Error (use-package): Cannot load evil-unimpaired, but if you run using emacs26 --debug-init it gave the error which looked like

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Package lacks a \"Version\" or \"Package-Version\" header")
  signal(error ("Package lacks a \"Version\" or \"Package-Version\" header"))
  error("Package lacks a \"Version\" or \"Package-Version\" header")
  package-buffer-info()
...

Turns out, ask @Miciah said, the issue is with the font-lock+ package and probably the package headers aren't being parsed correctly due to different line endings.

I would've never guessed that line endings would cause so much havoc.

Description

Spacemacs crash after first time installation.

It tries to install font-lock+ but keeps failing when it use git submodule. I'm certaint that Git is correctly installed and that I'm able to execute the command in Git Bash.

Is there any workarounds?

[Compro-Prasad]

@manumc I found another issue on GitHub. It seems to be a Windows problem?

[kenkangxgwe]

This solved my problem: open the .emacs.d/.cache/quelpa/build/package-name/xxxx.el and see if the newline is in dos style. Run dos2unix in emacs, save file and restart emacs.

[myTerminal]

I have been having the same issue on my Mac but when I tried it (the same GitHub repos with github fetcher) at work on a Windows 10 system, everything worked like a charm.

I also tested the files for ^M and there's nothing like that.

Update: The line-endings 'were' DOS. I changed them to UNIX and it works on Mac as well now.

[madetara]

Just in case someone is here with the same problem.
I solved it by setting git config --global core.autocrlf false AND activating spacemacs from PowerShell instead of bash

P.S. You would probably have to rm -rf your spacemacs folder and re-clone it, to ensure that all line endings are unix-style

Could you please help me with my issue , I cant recognize whats the problem is .
Here is my quelpa file please take a look.

@Zotac101
You said that you posted your quelpa file but that's the contents of evil-unimpaired.el.

I don't know much about file encoding, but I don't think it's visible when a files contents are posted in a github comment box.

But you can view a files encoding with: C-h v buffer-file-coding-system RET
source: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10500323/how-to-see-the-files-encoding-in-emacs

The comment (by kenkangxgwe) before the one you quoted might have the solution your looking for:

This solved my problem: open the .emacs.d/.cache/quelpa/build/package-name/xxxx.el and see if the newline is in dos style. Run dos2unix in emacs, save file and restart emacs.

#10645 (comment)

Spacemacs has key bindings for converting file encoding:
SPC f C d -> unix2dos
SPC f C u -> dos2unix

It seem like most (I checked 5+ files in random directories) if not all Spacemacs files (including quelpa.el) says dos for me, but the elpa/<emacs version>/develop package files say unix.

I don't have any autocrlf settings in either: ~/.gitconfig or .emacs.d/.git/CONFIG.

I don't remember having encountered the issues mentioned above.

SPC f C u -> dos2unix

gives the output (undefined)

i am running in vim mode this is a fresh install so dont understand know what is missing.

Tried both on my Ubuntu system and windows system same problem appearing.

[duianto]

SPC f C u and SPC f C d are working for me in Ubuntu 18.04 and Windows 1903,
on both the master and develop branches, with updated packages.

But I think we went off on a tangent regarding file encoding when your issue might be unrelated.

Could you please help me with my issue , I cant recognize whats the problem is .

I should have asked what problem your seeing. If you only had similar error messages as this issues author, then it might not be quelpa related.

There's currently an issue with Emacs that's marked as fixed in the next version.

This issue has a workaround:
Failed to download 'gnu' archive. Bad request. (Solution included) #12535

Hello

=======================
UPDATE
=======================

I just figured out what was causing my issues and it was quite simple to be honest .

The fix is to have git installed on your system.

I did it though Chocolatey

I figured it out on my own though the fix was by mere chance at best , just updating my post here so that anyone facing this problem in future can look at my experience and maybe fix their problems .

There seems to be:
hybrid-mode.el
evil-unimpaired.el
files in:
layers/+distributions/spacemacs-bootstrap/local
which seems to break if you change the branch for example master -> development and you auto.crlf is true.

I still get this error, and my emacs do knows about git.

Every time I open emacs it tries to install this package font-lock+ but it can't find it and therefore it takes extremely long time for it to open. Any way to remove this dependency until this issue is fixed?

[duianto]

@roiholtzman Make sure that you have updated the packages, it might have been fixed upstream.

If that doesn't work, then you could try to add font-lock+ to the dotspacemacs-excluded-packages variable in .spacemacs.

Could you post your system info, press SPC h d s to copy it to your clipboard.
It might be helpful for figuring out with which setup the issue occurs.

Thanks, but in the meantime I have switched to doom emacs, so I don't have this issue anymore.
