cannot access git@github.com:jkitchin/org-ref.git

[ouboub]

I am using Emacs 29.4 and the latest magit/forget version available in MELPA.

1. I cloned git@github.com:jkitchin/org-ref.git
2. I opened the directory, where the clone git repository dwells.
3. I run as in the past: (forge-add-repository)
4. A menu pops up and I want to pull topics
5. but I obtain the following error message:

ghub-repository-id: Repository "jkitchin/org-ref" does not exist on "api.github.com".
Maybe it was renamed and you have to update "remote.<remote>.url"?

I have never seen such an error. What do I miss?

Adding that repository worked for me.

Did you restart Emacs after updating Forge?

[ouboub]

I restarted emacs, and tried forge-add-repository
but obtained

eval-buffer: Symbol’s function definition is void: transient-define-group
cl-generic-ensure-function: transient-prefix-value is already defined as something else than a generic function

I updated the transient package in MELPA, but when running forge-add-repository
I obtain

You have to do the re-installation dance.

1. Uninstall forge, magit, transient and ghub.
2. Exit Emacs.
3. Start Emacs.
4. Install transient.
5. Exit Emacs.
6. Start Emacs.
7. Install forge (which also pulls in magit and ghub).

Hi

You have to do the re-installation dance. 1. Uninstall `forge`, `magit`, `transient` and `ghub`. 2. Exit Emacs. 3. Start Emacs. 4. Install `transient`. 5. Exit Emacs. 6. Start Emacs. 7. Install `forge` (which also pulls in `magit` and `ghub`).

Right now I am the un install hell, the package system installs dependencies but is unable to uninstall dependencies (while dpkg can) Uninstall still not finished. Below you find an incomplete list of errors So I will come back to this tonight. Another problem is that the new transient mode that was installed, does not allow me to insert emoji anymore, I file a but report Error trying to delete ‘transient-20251115.6’: (error "Package ‘transient-20251115.6’ is used by ‘transient-dwim’ as dependency, not deleting") Error trying to delete ‘transient-20251115.6’: (error "Package ‘transient-20251115.6’ is used by ‘org-ql’ as dependency, not deleting") Error trying to delete ‘transient-20251115.6’: (error "Package ‘transient-20251115.6’ is used by ‘org-ql’ as dependency, not deleting") Error trying to delete ‘org-ql-20221007.2334’: (error "Package ‘org-ql-20221007.2334’ is used by ‘org-multi-wiki’ as dependency, not deleting") Error trying to delete ‘org-multi-wiki-20210324.1820’: (error "Package ‘org-multi-wiki-20210324.1820’ is used by ‘helm-org-multi-wiki’ as dependency, not deleting") Error trying to delete ‘org-ql-20221007.2334’: (error "Package ‘org-ql-20221007.2334’ is used by ‘org-multi-wiki’ as dependency, not deleting") Error trying to delete ‘org-multi-wiki-20210324.1820’: (error "Package ‘org-multi-wiki-20210324.1820’ is used by ‘helm-org-multi-wiki’ as dependency, not deleting") Error trying to delete ‘transient-20251115.6’: (error "Package ‘transient-20251115.6’ is used by ‘org-ql’ as dependency, not deleting") Error trying to delete ‘transient-20251115.6’: (error "Package ‘transient-20251115.6’ is used by ‘magit’ as dependency, not deleting") Error trying to delete ‘magit-popup-20180618.1602’: (error "Package ‘magit-popup-20180618.1602’ is used by ‘magit-p4’ as dependency, not deleting") Error trying to delete ‘magit-section-20240822.1737’: (error "Package ‘magit-section-20240822.1737’ is used by ‘universal-sidecar’ as dependency, not deleting") Error trying to delete ‘transient-20251115.6’: (error "Package ‘transient-20251115.6’ is used by ‘magit’ as dependency, not deleting") Error trying to delete ‘magit-popup-20180618.1602’: (error "Package ‘magit-popup-20180618.1602’ is used by ‘magit-p4’ as dependency, not deleting") Error trying to delete ‘magit-section-20240822.1737’: (error "Package ‘magit-section-20240822.1737’ is used by ‘universal-sidecar’ as dependency, not deleting") Error trying to delete ‘universal-sidecar-20250731.200’: (error "Package ‘universal-sidecar-20250731.200’ is used by ‘wordcount-section’ as dependency, not deleting")

I've you haven't done so yet, write down all the packages you have currently installed. A simple ls -1 elpa should be good enough. Nowadays package.el records what packages you install explicitly, but that record may be incomplete.

You can remove packages using rm instead of using the package manager.

First I thought that removing a package with a simple rm might corrupt the package database, it seems not to be the case. However there is another issue (this of course is not your fault) but these nested dependencies really make me nervous For example org-ql depends on magit and org-ql depends on org-multi-wiki etc etc so ls -l elpa does not help me discover these dependencies and I might end with broken packages. Anyhow as I indicated in another issue, I cannot use the most recent transient pkg in my emacs 29.4, since I need the emojis. Thanks for the moment
