Subject: 25.0.50; list-packages is broken
Date: Sun, 12 Apr 2015 09:09:06 +0200

M-x list-packages is returning an error:

user-error: The current buffer is not a Package Menu

because package-menu-refresh is called outside of its context.
Consider calling it inside its buffer and after defining the mode.
