bug#61299: 30.0.50; error when trying to installing via package-vc-selected-packages list

[dalanicolai]

Okay, thanks! Although this is a nice answer, as I am having another

question also, I'll take the opportunity to also ask the others @emacs-devel

about a short explanation/how they deal with this.

No problem :)

OK, I'll be closing this bug report then.

Right.

At what stage of the compilation do you encounter these warnings?  It
makes sense that if you just git pull'ed from emacs.git the .el files
might be newer than the .elc files, because the Makefile has to first
rebuild Emacs which means temacs has to load a few files before dumping
it into the actual emacs executable.  Only then will the byte
compilation proceed.  Or that is my understanding, I never looked into
the build process in too great of a detail.

I'd let make run through, then see everything works the way it should.
If not, I think you should better report that as a separate bug.
