ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS emacs can't find assoc

Question

Just upgraded to 24.04.1 LTS, but my emacs configuration file can no longer load. Gives this error:

File is missing: Cannot open load file, No such file or directory, assoc

Seems lisp cannot find "assoc" any more. This worked just before upgrade from 22LTS.

My understanding is that assoc was depreciated from emacs 24.2. Ubuntu 24.04 is installing emacs –

GNU Emacs 29.3 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.41, cairo version 1.18.0) of 2024-04-01, modified by Debian

You can search your startup files for this with the following script: -

 find ~/.emacs.d -name "*.el" -exec grep -H "(require 'assoc)" {} \;

The following link, I think (but I am no expert), suggests a solution.

I hope this was of some help
