Package: elpa-debian-el
Version: 37.19.3
Severity: important

My load-path includes "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/debian-el-37.19", which does not exist, while it does not include "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/debian-el-37.19.3", which is where the packages' files are found.

I temporarily fixed it by doing:

$ ln -s /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/debian-el-37.19 /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/elpa/debian-el-37.19.3
