Hi list,
is ELPA working for everyone?
I was trying to record a screencast about Emacs and I decided to
create a new user with no rcfiles, and run everything from his
account. I then ran "emacs" to invoke the default Emacs here - this is
a Debian Stable, and M-x emacs-version says this:
GNU Emacs 26.1 (build 2, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version
3.24.5) of 2019-09-23, modified by Debian
Then I tried M-x list-packages. It did not list anything from ELPA,
and gave this error:
error in process sentinel: Error retrieving:
https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/archive-contents "incomprehensible
buffer"
I installed gnu-elpa-keyring-update and tried M-x list-packages again;
same error. I started emacs again and ran M-x list-packages again:
same thing.
I would love to know how to debug the functions in package.el but I
don't. Please send sexps! =\
Btw, the file
/home/eduardo/.emacs.d/elpa/archives/gnu/archive-contents/.signed
contains this, but in a single line:
Good signature from 066DAFCB81E42C40 GNU ELPA Signing Agent (2019)
<elpasign@elpa.gnu.org> (trust undefined) created at
2020-04-26T22:05:02+0100 using RSA
and I've uploaded the contents of
/home/eduardo/.emacs.d/elpa/archives/gnu/archive-contents
to:
https://0x0.st/ieQc.txt
I also tried to run slight variants of the tests above with an emacs26
compiled from the git repo with:
git checkout emacs-26.3
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
and it also couldn't access ELPA if I ran it from my test user.
When I ran emacses using my default user ("edrx") and loading my
(HUUUGE) ~/.emacs file they didn't have any problems accesing ELPA and
MELPA, but I didn't perform many tests with them to discover what code
in my ~/.emacs was, huh, how do I say?, "fixing the bug".
Thanks in advance =/,
