Could you include the rest of what you have in init.el please?  The
other code might well be significant.

With that line just by itself, I get a *Warnings* buffer popup (so I
guess you have at least a (require 'package) in there to avoid this?)

    Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading ‘/home/npostavs/tmp/tmp-emacs-home/.emacs.d/init.el’:

    Symbol's value as variable is void: package-archives

    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.

M-x list-packages succeeds without cashing regardless of whether I've
added (require 'package) or not.
