I would be glad to learn that I am doing something wrong and there is no
bug here.  So far, I haven't figured it out.

In Emacs 24.3, after I do `M-x list-packages' and click a package name
(that is listed as "available"), buffer *Help* pops up, with an
`Install' button.  I click that button and click a confirmation button
`Yes', and the package gets installed.

In the current dev snapshot, when I click the button or hit RET on it,
nothing happens.  I suppose I could go looking for what is going on,
by trying to use the debugger on `push-button', but...

What am I missing?  Is there a bug here, or do I need to do something
different?  Thx.

Uh, why was this bug closed summarily, with no reply?
Not a bug?  (Why?)

I think I hit the wrong key.  Reopening.

Could you try to do what you suppose you could do?
