consult-20260502.950 on MELPA: consult-preview-at-point-mode called but no longer defined

[dinojr]

Description

Version 20260502.950 available on MELPA adds consult-preview-at-point-mode
to completion-list-mode-hook via consult--default-completion-list-preview-setup,
but this function was removed in commit 5cd9646.

This causes the following error whenever a Completions buffer is displayed:

(error "Autoloading file .../consult.elc failed to define function
consult-preview-at-point-mode")

Steps to reproduce

1. Install consult 20260502.950 from MELPA
2. Trigger completion in minibuffer (e.g. M-x find-file TAB)

Expected behavior

No error.

Workaround

Define a no-op stub in early-init.el:

(defun consult-preview-at-point-mode (&rest _) nil)

Environment

• Emacs 31.0.50
• consult 20260502.950 from MELPA

[minad]

The function consult-preview-at-point-mode had been deprecated and removed a while after. You should remove it from your configuration.

[dinojr]

It's nowhere explicitly in my configuration.

[minad]

It doesn't appear anymore in the Consult source either. Maybe you use some outdated packages, or you have some stale byte code?
