Package emacs (yes, emacs) unavailable #10983
Comments
A workaround is to install emacs > 25 and(!) switch to develop branch. |
Packages can require a minimum Emacs version to work, and when the installed version of Emacs isn't new enough, you get the "emacs-XXX is unavailable" message. That's what happens here - Magit (and others) now require at least Emacs 25.1 and won't install on Emacs 24.5. You should rollback your packages if you can. The situation of master branch isn't so good right now. What you can do is:
I'm guessing for the workaround you had to switch to develop branch because of other issues that are fixed in develop. |
A nitpicking comment: the error message could be clearer. Like saying explicitly (and in the first place, not in parentheses) that installed emacs is too old. |
I'm not sure a big enough deal was made about this, but, it breaks the quick start instructions on linux (and OSX?). As a vim user I was looking to ease myself into emacs + evil, found spacemacs, followed the directions and whon whon whon helm (autocompletion?) requires emacs 25.x |

@emrainey which packages caused the error? In the original post there's this line:
You should have similar lines, please post all of them. We support Emacs 25.1 and newer, so if a package got stricter restrictions I'd like to know, thanks. |
Found the issue, even though I installed emacs25, emacs24 was being run when executing "emacs". Had to remove emacs24 and reinstall emacs25. Packaging system seems to be geared to defeat normal usage. |
I'm having a similar issue, emacs 25.2.2, devel branch of spacemacs, just that for me it is: |
I got this error because version resolution in |
I have the same issue, but the README.md says Spacemacs requires Emacs 24.4 or above, I think it should change to 25.1, thanks! |
Same - I have emacs 24.5.1 on mac - gives this issue |
As mentioned above by bmag:
For example as mentioned above, when the comment was posted,
A lot of issues would be solved if your able to install a newer version of Emacs, the latest version is 27.1 And if your not on the Spacemacs

I install emacs 27.1, and it worked... thanks! |

I still get this issue while installing org-mode Spacemacs and emacs version: 0.999.0@27.1

I am sorry, master is unsupported and will most likely not work. |
