void-variable read-symbol-positions-list error on emacs-29 HEAD

[jguenther]

looks like read-with-symbol-position and read-symbol-positions-list were removed in emacs commit emacs-mirror/emacs@dfae76c

if: Unexpected error whilst reading ~/.emacs.d/elpa/company-20220110.2248/company.el position 2497: (void-variable read-symbol-positions-list)

I took a quick look and I'm not sure what the replacement would be for this, but I'd assume there is one (read-positioning-symbols maybe?)

thx for this great package btw !

Happens to me as well, attempted on two versions: 29.0.50.153980 and 29.0.50.153998

Error is occuring when using helpful-functions, which, as i understand, has elisp-refs as a dependency.

I'm pretty sure this commit is the cause of the issue:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?id=dfae76c9915454f9ef0885e1bac160a2c480e1d1
Edit: I didn't realize you already posted the commit

Fixed in #36.
