Cannot install due to dash-functional version #252

Hi!

First of all, I apologize if this is a silly question, I'm fairly new to emacs and still trying to figure things out.

I tried to install the helpful package today and received this error message:

I followed the link and it seems that that version of dash-functional is actually not available (I don't know if this is temporary or MELPA just keeps the latest version)

The elisp that I used to try to install helpful is the following:

(use-package helpful
 :custom
 (counsel-describe-function-function #'helpful-callable)
 (counsel-describe-variable-funciton #'helpful-variable)
 :bind
 ([remap describe-function] . counsel-describe-function)
 ([remap describe-command] . helpful-command)
 ([remap describe-variable] . counsel-describe-variable)
 ([remap describe-key] . helpful-key))

Turns out I just had to run package-refresh-contents and the error went away.
