This bug report will be sent to the Bug-GNU-Emacs mailing list
and the GNU bug tracker at debbugs.gnu.org. Please check that
the From: line contains a valid email address. After a delay of up
to one day, you should receive an acknowledgment at that address.
Please write in English if possible, as the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators for other languages.
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug, and
the precise symptoms of the bug. If you can, give a recipe
starting from `emacs -Q':
M-x package-install RET js2-mode RET
gives
js2-mode-pkg.el:2:1:Warning: `"languages"' is a malformed function
after creating this js2-mode-pkg.el:
;; Generated package description from js2-mode.el
(define-package "js2-mode" "20140114" "Improved JavaScript editing mode"
'((emacs "24.1")) :url "https://github.com/mooz/js2-mode/" :keywords
("languages" "javascript"))
which e.g. leads to errors on next emacs startup. Adding a ' before the
keywords list (and deleting the .elc) is a workaround. I don't see the
error in js2-mode.el that would cause this:
$ head -13 js2-mode.el

but in any case, 'package should probably handle this better.

So I removed the 2 packages that suffered from this problem (the latest
js2-mode and company) and forced a manual rebuild of them. At least on
the elpa.gnu.org side, this is fixed now, indeed.
Thank you, it looks fine now.
I've made `package-desc-keywords' private so that someone can implement
a more general solution later, but the immediate issue seems to be fixed.
