"Can't find library ..." errors

When running eask install-deps --dev for smartparens, I get a lot of "can't find library" errors, see the screenshot

My Eask file based on the Cask file.

(package "smartparens" "1.11.0"
 "Automatic insertion, wrapping and paredit-like navigation with user defined pairs.")

(package-file "smartparens.el")

This is a known issue.

This error goes away after Emacs 28.1+. I still need to further investigate this issue. 😕

I'm one of those dinosaurs still on E26 😅 I should just take the hit and update one of these days.

This seems like an Emacs bug (design wise) to me since it get ignored after Emacs 28.1+ and it does not broke anything (from what I've discovered). We can hack Eask so it would stop reporting this error, but I think it's better to leave it as is it? 😕

Any suggestions are welcome! :)

I'm wondering if this can cause issues in the CI pipelines with older emacs versions? otherwise I think yea we can close it.

[jcs090218]

I don't think it causes any issues, but it will report a bunch of "Can't find library" for sure.

Let me pin this issue, and hope people who use older versions of Emacs can see this thread once they have encountered it! :D

I revisited this issue, and it has been properly addressed in #370. Closing this as completed.
