Re: [PATCH] package.el: Kill "PKGNAME-autoloads.el" buffer

[Daniel Hackney]

Whoops! I should be a bit more careful about killing the right buffer.
Use this patch instead:

+        * emacs-lisp/package.el (package-generate-autoloads): Kill buffer
+        "PKGNAME-autoloads.el". This prevents the buffers from sticking
+        around after a package installation. If the package is updated or
+        deleted, the left-over buffer can interrupt the automated flow of
+        things.
