I very suddenly starting experiencing a problem while loading emacs. Emacs now takes a very long time to load and when it does, I get the warnings:
Generating transient.info
make[1]: makeinfo: No such file or directory
make[1]: *** [transient.info] Error 1
make: *** [info] Error 2
my init.el file contains:

I do not see anything about transient in the init file but I still see
Error (el-get): while installing transient: el-get: make el-get could not build transient [make EMACSBIN=/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs-x86_64-10_14 info]

Where might this problem be coming from? Thanks.
