This used to work not long ago:

emacs -Q --batch --eval "(progn (require 'package) (unload-feature 'package) (require 'package))"

Now it breaks with:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-variable package-user-dir)
  require(package)
  (progn (require 'package) (unload-feature 'package) (require 'package))
  eval((progn (require 'package) (unload-feature 'package) (require 'package)) t)
  command-line-1(("--eval" "(progn (require 'package) (unload-feature 'package..."))
  command-line()
  normal-top-level()

Which in turn breaks my fix for
https://github.com/alphapapa/makem.sh/issues/31

If this is something that can't/won't be fixed, could you recommend a
workaround?

I can confirm that the above recipe works using 27.2 but not with
28.0.50.

Stefan Monnier tweaked the code there recently, perhaps that's the
reason.  Stefan, can you take a look, please?

I pushed a patch to `master` which should fix this problem (it actually
affected every file that uses `custom-initialize-delay`).

Julian, can you confirm that it fixes the problem for you?

This was a year ago, and I can't reproduce the recipe, so I assume the
fix work, and I'm closing this bug report.  If this is still an issue,
please respond to the debbugs address and we'll reopen.
