Hi Ovidiu,

thanks for the feedback and the patch!

I just pushed this evening a branch that reworks also the eln file
placement on the file-system and partially this mechanism.

https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2020-08/msg00535.html

It should cure also this problem.

It would be great if you cold try it out and give a feedback if it works
for you.

Thanks!

  Andrea
