If I start emacs (even without parameters) it complains "Package assoc is obsolete!". I tried already to use a minimal .xemacs/init.el, but it still complains.

What happens if you start Emacs with "emacs -q" or "emacs -Q"?
If I start emacs with 'emacs -q', it complains "Package assoc is obsolete!". If I start emacs with 'emacs -Q', it does not complain.
(In reply to comment #3) > If I start emacs with 'emacs -q', it complains "Package assoc is obsolete!". > If I start emacs with 'emacs -Q', it does not complain. Looks like it's caused by some package in site-lisp then. Can you post the list of such packages output by "emacs-updater -a all -p"?

I tried to perform a 'emacs-updater -a all' but this hangs due to Bug 463646.
To skip 'emerge root' I tried 'emacs-updater -a all -- --resume --skipfirst'. But 'emacs' still complains "Package assoc is obsolete!".
(In reply to comment #5) > app-emacs/cedet:0 I guess that this is the package to blame. To verify, you could temporarily unmerge it and start Emacs again. OTOH, the "obsolete" message is only a warning and doesn't have any negative consequences. If it annoys you too much, then adding the following code to /etc/emacs/site-start.el would be a workaround: (defadvice do-after-load-evaluation (before no-obsolete activate) (let ((file (ad-get-arg 0))) (if (string-match-p "/assoc\\.el" file) (ad-set-arg 0 (replace-regexp-in-string "/obsolete/" "/" file)))))
