Just wild guessing: In theory I think this could happen even with emacs
-Q when something in your `package-user-dir' is broken.  You might want
to try to rename that directory temporarily or redefine the variable to
point to some empty directory.  Or maybe just try with a different Linux
user (maybe a newly created test account).

If this does not reveal something new: Can you then maybe provide an
Elisp backtrace please (after loading the source file "package.el")?

TIA,

Michael.
