Package: emacs
Version: 24.3.50
X-Debbugs-CC: address@hidden
package-initialize is not being run because the code to detect
description files does
(when (let ((subdir (expand-file-name subdir dir)))
(and (file-directory-p subdir)
(file-exists-p
(package--description-file subdir))))
(throw 'package-dir-found t)))))))
but package--description-file does not return an absolute filename, so
file-exists-p fails.
Either this patch is needed,
