Package: elpa-magit
Version: 4.3.0-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
If I'm not mistaken, there's now an issue with magit 4.3.0 running Emacs 30.1 in testing.
Issueing M-x magit-status after Emacs has started, from a directory containing a git checkout of a repo, I get an error about magit-commit-absorb

Compilation finished.
Hope this is indeed linked to the Debian package, and not some strange customization on my side.

I cannot seem to reproduce this: tried removing the eln-cache, launching
Emacs and "M-x magit-status" on a git directory, and my
*Async-native-compile-log* doesn't show any warning/error regarding
magit.

Can you try starting a clean Emacs using "emacs -Q", load only magit
(probably also transient and other dependencies), and try to reproduce
this?
