Emacs packages fails install due missing deps: pkg-info and dash - emacs

I get the following error when installing a set of packages for my emacs client (clojure-mode)
Warning (emacs): Unable to activate package pkg-info'.
Required packagedash-1.6.0' is unavailable
Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading `/home/skinney/.emacs.d/init.el':
Wrong type argument: stringp, nil
How do I solve this? A google search reveals nothing :/

As #lunaryorn noted this was caused by a bug in the EPL package. See the discussion here for the details.
The new version is already on MELPA. If updating does not work for you - you might have to remove EPL and reinstall EPL manually.

Error while installing AllegroGraph on Arch Linux

I get the following error when running install-agraph for agraph-6.6.0
An unhandled error occurred during initialization:
Loading sys:aclissl.so failed with error:
/home/<username>/agraph-6.6.0/aclissl.so: undefined symbol: CRYPTO_set_locking_callback.
[physical pathname is /home/<username>/agraph-6.6.0/aclissl.so]
Cannot find much with google-fu on this error - at least nothing useful. Any leads would be helpful.
This problem has been fixed in the upcoming 7.0 release of AllegroGraph. Your workaround, using a system with OpenSSL 1.0.x is the correct one, for the currently released version of AllegroGraph.

An unexpected errors occured with Yarn 1.13.0 on Xubuntu 16

I managed to get the latest Yarn v1.13.0 installed on Xubuntu 16 with their curl installation instruction.
Now I'm getting this errors trying to install a project's dependencies.
An expected error occurred:
"https://registry.yarnpkg.com/event-stream/-/event-stream-3.3.6.tgz:
Request failed \"404 Not Found\
Same 'Not Found' message is displayed by the error url.
Seems to be caused by the security issue https://github.com/dominictarr/event-stream/issues/116?utm_content=educational&utm_campaign=2018-11-28&utm_source=email-sendgrid&utm_term=13952972&utm_medium=833442
How do I fix it? How do I find the project deps that use the corrupted version of event-stream?
Seemingly was caused by an older version of Nodemon prolly affected by the security issue above. Updating it to the latest version in package.json seemed to have helped.

ArchLinux LibreOfficeFresh unable to start

My System:
- ArchLinux
- LibreOfficeFresh 5.0.2-3
- Xorg116
- Catalyst Graphics Drivers
Problem:
LibreOfficeFresh is unable to start since I have installed catalyst, so since i switched
from MESA to catalyst.
Error Description:
[tekkkz#thinkpad ~]$ libreoffice
(soffice:1022): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_value_set_boxed: assertion 'G_VALUE_HOLDS_BOXED (value)' failed
(soffice:1022): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: gtype.c:4268: type id '0' is invalid
(soffice:1022): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: can't peek value table for type '<invalid>' which is not currently referenced
Application Error
Someone an idea how I can get my LibreOffice working again?
Thanks for help,
Tekkkz
this is the message that I saw when upgrading today
(18/24) upgrading libreoffice-fresh [##############################] 100%
> LibreOffice now uses highly experimental gtk3 vcl by default
> on some desktops. To use stable gtk2 vcl uncomment
> it in /etc/profile.d/libreoffice-fresh.{sh,csh}
So you can try that, uncomment the line export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk
and re-login, if you don't want to logout, you have to export the variable manually in a terminal and run libreoffice from that terminal inmediately after exporting the variable.
export SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk
soffice
I do that, and it works right now
It seems to be a problem with GTK themes (and a recent change between GTK2/3). Try changing themes and see if it starts working again (it did for me).

Yasnippet installing with cask in Emacs error

I've been trying to install Yasnippet using Cask, but I can't get it to work. I've installed other packages using Cask and they seem to work, but Yasnippet won't load. I get this error when I opened Emacs and have added (yas-global-mode 1) to my init.el file.
Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading `/home/adam/.emacs.d/init.el':
error: Don't know how to make a localized variable an alias
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.
Cask has been erased and reinstalled in my home folder. The Yasnippet map in /home/adam/.emacs.d/.cask/24.3.1/elpa/ has been erased and reinstalled with Cask.
Thanks in advance for help!

I can't update my Ipython and Examples version in Enthought Canopy

I tries to update via package manager. But it says HTTP Error 404.
I tried to mention as it is given in Ipython's website. Then I get a following error:
KeyError: u'HTTP Error 404: NOT FOUND:
https://api.enthought.com/eggs/win-32/ipython-1.1.0-3.egg'
What should I do
---------------EDIT AFTER JONATHANS ANSWER-------------------------------------------
I am also experiencing same error for Examples-7.3-1.egg
and for libxml2-2.7.8-4.egg
There is a high probability to have error with some other packages as well. Please let me know.
This server error should have been resolved over the weekend. Apologies for the trouble.
