| Jun 18, 2015 at 12:47 | comment | added | GodEater | I've sent in the bug report already - you sure? PS - I already gathered that was where the problem was coming from - hence my answer to myself below ;) | |

Thanks, that's where you problem is coming from, you should be getting anything but nil. Could you run emacs without your init file, and then try again?

| Jun 18, 2015 at 12:17 | comment | added | GodEater | -edit- I get 'nil' for both your line, and the line I presume you meant me to type, which has the right directory name for the magit folder. | |
| Jun 18, 2015 at 10:08 | comment | added | Malabarba | More importantly, could you please do M-x report-emacs-bug and send us this information? | |

this will be trickier than I thought. What do you get if you evaluate (file-in-directory-p "~/.emacs.d/elpa/magit/" "~\\.emacs.d\\elpa")?

Ok. When you hit RET on one of these packages it will open a description buffer. Could you copy the contents of that buffer and paste it into your question?

| Jun 15, 2015 at 19:57 | comment | added | Malabarba | This externals thing is a new feature in Emacs 25, but it shouldn't be marking regular packages as external (so you may have found a bug in it). Is your emacs directory a symlink (or is it under a symlink?)? What OS do you use? | |
