bug#16873: 24.3.50; `describe-package' error: (wrong-type-argument char-or-string-p ("comm" "hypermedia"))

[Nicolas Richard]

Hi,

I re-opened the bug because I had it too, and was now able to reproduce
it. The problems lies in
~/.emacs.d/elpa/debbugs-0.6/debbugs-pkg.el

Here's how to reproduce:

NEWHOME=/tmp/a-new-home/
mkdir $NEWHOME
HOME=$NEWHOME emacs -Q --eval '(progn (setq debug-on-error t) 
(package-initialize) (package-refresh-contents) (package-install (quote 
debbugs)) (describe-package (quote debbugs)))'

I hope this helps other to reproduce.
