 ?)

Hello,

with
GNU Emacs 25.2.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin13.4.0, NS appkit-1265.21 Version 10.9.5
(Build 13F1911))
 of 2017-04-21
downloaded from from https://emacsformacosx.com/about

launch Emacs, for example, in shell :

% /Applications/Emacs-25.2.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -Q

In Emacs, evaluate this :

(require 'package)

(add-to-list 'package-archives
	     '("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/"))


M-x list-packages

Emacs crashes.

The problem did not exist in Emacs 25.1 and disappears when https is replaced by
http.

Best regards.

I cannot reproduce the problem on my somewhat-different platform (Ubuntu 16.04.2 
LTS, x86-64, configured --with-ns so that Emacs reports "NS gnustep-gnu-0.24.0" 
as the UI). Assuming you still have the problem, can you please build Emacs with 
CFLAGS='-g3 -O0', run Emacs under GDB, and send a backtrace of the crash?

I can’t replicate this using

    GNU Emacs 25.2.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin16.5.0, NS appkit-1504.82
    Version 10.12.4 (Build 16E195)) of 2017-04-29

built myself.

This looks like it’s probably relevant

    https://github.com/caldwell/build-emacs/issues/60

but has no clear resolution.

As this appears to be a GnuTLS packaging problem on emacsformacos.com, 
and not an Emacs bug per se, I suggest that we close the Emacs bug report.
