epa--decode-coding-string not defined

[ericsfraga]

I recently installed twittering-mode from melpa as I used to use a very old version. It failed to run in latest emacs snapshot (or very recent one in any case) because twittering-mode tries to use epa--decode-coding-string which is not defined. Adding the following to my configuration fixed this:

(defalias 'epa--decode-coding-string 'decode-coding-string)

I've got the same issue on emacs-snapshot.
I don't actually like hackie patches, but in this case, don't know the way how to make it better. Tested on my 27.0.50 -- works correctly.

This happened because of that: Drop some epg/epa backwards compat code for ancient Emacs versions

[carlcash]

can also use epa-file--decode-coding-string

Same issue here on:

• GNU Emacs 27.1 (build 1, x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.21, cairo version 1.16.0) of 2020-08-20
• Package-Version: 20181121.1402
• Identity: $Id: fb19946d706684ccd33bcd810e98638d7374964c $

Finally decided to modify the line 3114 of the source twittering-mode.el

Can somebody make this patch available in MELPA? Please.

This issue has existed for over four years. It is clearly evident, the project is no longer being maintained and has been abandoned by its developer.
