Description of problem: Start emacs. It will halt before starting up completely with an error message about how cl is deprecated. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): emacs-27.1-2.fc32.x86_64 emacs-color-theme-6.6.0-18.fc32.noarch How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. install emacs and emacs-color-theme 2. start emacs 3. Actual results: It will halt before starting up completely with an error message about how cl is deprecated. emacs is largely non-functional after this. Expected results: Normal emacs start up. Additional info: Apparently this color-theme package requires the cl emacs package, which has been declared obsolete as of emacs 27. The loading of the color-theme package causes emacs's startup process to halt with a cryptic error message. From then on emacs is largely useless. And it's an absolute miracle that I figured out that this color-theme package is the culprit.
