[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

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
