Anyway. I've just restarted emacs and it errored during startup because
actually the pdf-tools package uses tablist although it doesn't
explicitly declare it as dependency. In its git repository, it has
tablist.el bundled but that's not distributed via the package. Reported
here:
https://github.com/politza/pdf-tools/issues/103
Does that explain something? E.g., package-autoremove only works with
the declared dependencies whereas a package upgrade will also recognize
that (featurep 'tablist) is true in the currently running emacs which
means it is actually used and thus it must be installed again?
Bye,
