I'm trying a clean install with this in my init.el
(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
(add-to-list 'package-archives
;; Initialize all the ELPA packages (what is installed using the packages commands)
(package-initialize)
(when (not package-archive-contents)
(package-refresh-contents))
(defvar my-packages
'(;; org mode
org
;; org mode plus contrib
org-plus-contrib))
(dolist (p my-packages)
(when (not (package-installed-p p))
(package-install p)))
eval-buffer-ing this gives
package-compute-transaction: Package ‘org-plus-contrib-’ is unavailable
It's as if it's looking for a specific org-plus-contrib-xxxx.tar ? Never had this problem before.
