[pkg-go] Bug#911590: gocode-auto-complete-el: fails to install: go-autocomplete.el:39:13:Error: Cannot open load file: No such file or directory, auto-complete

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: gocode-auto-complete-el
Version: 20150303-3
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install. As
per definition of the release team this makes the package too buggy for
a release, thus the severity.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

  In toplevel form:

  ERROR: install script from gocode-auto-complete-el package failed
  dpkg: error processing package emacs24 (--configure):
   subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

This problem only occurrs if gocode-auto-complete-el is installed
together with its dependencies in one run. If the dependencies are
installed first and gocode-auto-complete-el afterwards, everything is
fine.

This seems to be a regression introduced in the last point release in
auto-complete-el (1.3.1-2+deb9u1).

Comparing to an older log results in
