For the record: this means that Emacs might fail to start. Mine didn't
even get far enough to open the first X frame. One needs to start with
-q.
Then I had to edit the package descriptions of all packages I had tried
to upgrade by hand. In ~/.emacs.d/elpa for any package directory of any
package "foo", in the directory of "foo" I needed to change the first
line of the file "foo-pkg.el":
(define-package foo ...
to
(define-package "foo" ...
to make package initialization succeed again.
HTH,
Michael.
