epkg-update then epkg-list-packages doesn't know about jsonrpc (https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/jsonrpc.html)

Also epkg-describe-package eglot doesn't list jsonrpc as a dependency

Note that jsonrpc and json-rpc are different and epkg knows about json-rpc.

jsonrpc was one of the four packages that were "on hold", meaning I am aware of it but haven't added it because it is a special snowflake.

jsonrpc is a :core package in GNU Elpa, meaning that it is also part of Emacs itself. Normally that is not a problem because I don't have to mirror such packages -- they are already part of Emacs. The problem here is that jsonrpc is not part of the latest Emacs release.

I have now add jsonrpc as a file package, meaning I occupationally import whatever version is currently available at https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/plain/lisp/jsonrpc.el using "update" as the commit message.

Once Emacs 27.1 has been released, I will remove jsonrpc and everything is good and civilized again.
