Hi everyone,
I'm following the procedure for "The lazy installer" and I'm getting a Debugger error: https://gist.github.com/renatocan/0d8cf809520ab00976b6bb06e865705b
I'm testing on a fresh installed emacs on Archlinux: GNU Emacs 29.1 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.38,
Thanks you for your assistance,
Renato.

Any updates on this issue? I have tried a fresh install again and it seems to be happening the same error...
I tried to fix as suggested in https://github.com/dimitri/el-get/pull/2890/files but it didn't solve either.
I would be glad to help fixing this, appreciate it if someone can guide me how :-)
Thanks!

UPD: FIY, this workaround lead to stucking with old recipes this way

This is affecting me as well. I rely on el-get since ages, but now I am stuck. I do not want to use other systems, but I can't help fixing it, I have written a plea to the developers.

Have the same issue.
I don't have .status.el and got the error error: (wrong-type-argument listp t).
I created .status.el with followings:
()
And execute (el-get 'sync).
Then generated imcomplete .status.el and got errors.

Last year I also faced problems with el-get on Emacs 29 (I think it was 29.1), today I found that a fresh check-out of el-get worked well with Emacs 29.3, no fix or workaround needed. So you people may want to give it a try.
lispstudent commented
Thank you very much for letting us know, it works again on my side as well.
One wonders, how was it fixed? I can't see any commit relating to this issue?
PS: I like el-get very much, still my favourite package manager. But it does not seem an easy task to have feedback from maintainers. To non-skilled users like me, this does not give much confidence.

The only fix I could find in el-get logs is #2890, I am not sure it explains everything. Maybe there were also changes in Emacs between 29.1 and 29.3, or in the distribution patches and scripts.
renatocan commented
Since it was confirmed to work with emacs 29.3, I'll close this issue.
I have been using el-get for over 10 years and I am very grateful to the contributors. However, since I ran into this issue, I switched to straight (https://github.com/radian-software/straight.el) and it has proven to be a great alternative.
Thank you!
lispstudent commented
@saffroy Thank you for pointing to that MR.
@renatocan Thanks. I hear elpaca is also worth a try, perhaps closer to el-get spirit. Personally, for now, I will stick to el-get. Let us see where it will lead us.
