Dear Emacs team:

Thanks for providing and maintaining such a great software.

Even I am new to emacs, I find it very good.

I have problem with it.

Please refer to attached item.

I will find out how to set mail in emacs soon.

regards,
wxie

Thanks for the report. I can't reproduce this. Please repeat, but before
step 7:

6b. M-x load-library package.el RET
6c. M-x toggle-debug-on error RET

and then after step 7 send the resulting backtrace.

Hi, Morris:

Thanks for the instruction.

I have recovered from the problem using:

1. delete file : ~/.emacs.d/elpa/archives/melpa/archive-contents
2. add in ~/.emacs the following

(package-initialize)

(package-refresh-contents)

Now I tried to reproduce the problem by reverse back my emacs,

but cannot. I am ok if you close the bug.

I will let you know if I reproduce it later.

best regards,

wxie
