packages.el can't find starter-kit packages like yasnippet-bundle
Closed this issue · 4 comments
The version of packages.el talks to the official gnu.org version (version 1.0) of the elpa. This version doesn't have the packages the starter kit wants to install.
Many of the packages in starter-kit-elpa.org are not on the elpa.gnu.org yet and thus throw errors on a new install.
Using packages.el from http://tromey.com/elpa/package.el fixes this problem. (It can be updated using package-install packages)
are you sure you're using the latest version of the starter kit? I believe this issue was addressed by commit 19b3a1d.
I get Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading `/Users/ramiel/.emacs.d/init.el':
error: Trying to parse HTTP response code in odd buffer: http tromey.com:80
To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file. Start Emacs with
the `--debug-init' option to view a complete error backtrace.
Ok apparently running it twice fixed it. and it is pulling from the right place.
great, I'll close this then
