Orphan package problem?

[capdevc]

OSX, emacs 24.3... After a fresh install of spacemacs with no .spacemacs I get this in the spacemacs buffer:

Loading.........................................................OK!
Found 23 orphan package(s) to delete...
--> deleting async... [1/23]Ready!
[126 packages loaded in 3.255s]

and this in the Warnings buffer:

Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading `/Users/cc/.emacs.d/init.el':

Wrong type argument: arrayp, ([cl-struct-package-desc async (20141001 151) Asynchronous processing in Emacs nil nil nil /Users/cc/.emacs.d/elpa/async-20141001.151 nil nil])

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the cause of the error in your initialization file.  Start Emacs with the `--debug-init' option to view a complete error backtrace.

and here's the stack trace, apologies for the truncation:

I saw this issue but in the version 24.4 of Emacs. (mentioned in issue #21)

A temporary work around is to comment this line: https://github.com/syl20bnr/spacemacs/blob/master/init.el#L36

@capdevc What's your build ? Homebrew, macports ?

[capdevc]

@syl20bnr my mistake, I'm running 24.4.50.1, not 24.3. I forgot which machine I was on! This is the homebrew vanilla emacs recipe built from emacs HEAD a few weeks ago. I'll use the workaround for now

@capdevc I pushed a temporary fix which disables the feature on 24.4. Thank you for the report.
