I'm trying to upgrade prelude on a linux system but I'm getting:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-missing "Cannot open load file" "No such file or directory" "editorconfig")
  require(editorconfig)
  eval-buffer(#<buffer  *load*-522120> nil "/home/borkdude/.emacs.d/core/prelude-editor.el" nil t)  ; Reading at buffer position 14829
  load-with-code-conversion("/home/borkdude/.emacs.d/core/prelude-editor.el" "/home/borkdude/.emacs.d/core/prelude-editor.el" nil t)

  load("/home/borkdude/.emacs.d/init" t t)
  #f(compiled-function () #<bytecode 0x1e0f4d>)()

I made sure to install editorconfig - I don't even know why, but I did

removing the package editorconfig worked
