Thanks for the reply. Well, you prompted me to find a reproducible
sequence. It turns out that the problem comes from when I start emacs
as "root". (This happens automatically in ~/.xinitrc, for better or
worse, where I create a screen session with an emacs running as root,
which starts a server so that I can edit files using emacsclient as
root) My /root/.emacs looks something like this:
(setenv "HOME" "/home/frederik/")
(setq savehist-file "/root/.emacs-history")
(load "~/.emacs")
(setenv "HOME" "/root/")
Obviously this does not contain a "(package-initialize)" line, so the
following test in package--ensure-init-file fails:
;; Don't visit the file if we don't have to.
(with-temp-buffer
(insert-file-contents user-init-file)
(goto-char (point-min))
(re-search-forward "(package-initialize\\_>" nil 'noerror))
(by the way what's with the unnecessary optimization in the lines
previous to these? ugh)
I wasn't able to figure out why the "(package-initialize)" lines then
get inserted in ~/.emacs rather than /root/.emacs, but I hope the
above clues provide a good enough place for someone else to start
debugging this.
Thank you!
