On Ubuntu 20.10, I try to install dash.el package with the following command:

M-x package-install dash

But emcas throws out the following error:

File error: https://melpa.org/packages/dash-20201223.1755.tar, Not found.

Best, HY

What is your M-x version RET and value of package-archives?

File error: https://melpa.org/packages/dash-20201223.1755.tar, Not found.

That looks like an old version of Dash. Have you tried running M-x package-refresh-contents RET before package-install?

Can you reproduce this error starting from emacs -Q?

I can't reproduce the error on any of Emacs 26, 27, or 28 (I would try 24 and 25 as well, but they can't currently install anything from MELPA, probably due to a recent SSL configuration change).

Here's what I tried for each of the aforementioned Emacs versions:

  1. HOME="$(mktemp -d)" emacs -Q
  2. (progn
 (setq debug-on-error t)
 (require 'package)
 (push '("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/") package-archives)
 (package-initialize)
 (package-refresh-contents)
 (package-install 'dash))
  3. C-j

All of them succeeded in installing dash-20210104.2053.

What is your M-x version RET and value of package-archives?

I don't know how to inspect the value of package-archives. I only see the following after issued the command M-x version RET: 

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

File error: https://melpa.org/packages/dash-20201223.1755.tar, Not found

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. Disable showing Disable logging

File error: https://melpa.org/packages/dash-20201223.1755.tar, Not found.

That looks like an old version of Dash. Have you tried running M-x package-refresh-contents RET before package-install?

The following steps can trigger the installation of the latest dash on melpa repo:

$ rm -fr ~/.emacs.d/elpa/archives $ rm -fr ~/.emacs.d/elpa/dash-*

Then M-x package-refresh-contents RET followed by package-install dash?

The dash package exists both in the following two repos and the one in melpa has the latest version:

werner@X10DAi:~/.emacs.d/elpa/archives$ egrep -lnR 'dash' .
./gnu/archive-contents
./melpa/archive-contents

I am not sure if this is the cause of this problem.

Can you reproduce this error starting from emacs -Q?

This package can be installed successfully with emacs -Q.

I can't reproduce the error on any of Emacs 26, 27, or 28 (I would try 24 and 25 as well, but they can't currently install anything from MELPA, probably due to a recent SSL configuration change).

Here's what I tried for each of the aforementioned Emacs versions:

1. `HOME="$(mktemp -d)" emacs -Q`

2. ```emacs-lisp
   (progn
     (setq debug-on-error t)
     (require 'package)
     (push '("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/") package-archives)
     (package-initialize)
     (package-refresh-contents)
     (package-install 'dash))
   ```

3. `C-j`

All of them succeeded in installing dash-20210104.2053.

This method also works for me, see the following for more info:

Note: I use a local http proxy due to the direct access to melpa is very slow from my location.

(setq url-proxy-services
   '(("no_proxy" . "^\\(localhost\\|10\\..*\\|192\\.168\\..*\\|127\\..*\\|172\\.17\\..*\\)")

(progn
  (setq debug-on-error t)
  (require 'package)
  (push '("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/") package-archives)
  (package-initialize)
  (package-refresh-contents)
  (package-install 'dash))
"Package ‘dash’ installed."

I don't know how to inspect the value of package-archives.

C-h v package-archives RET

I only see the following after issued the command M-x version RET

What you quoted in your message is not the output of the version command.

The dash package exists both in the following two repos and the one in melpa has the latest version:

The version of Dash on GNU ELPA (aka "gnu") is unfortunately very old and stale (I'm working on updating it in #344), so I recommend you use the version from MELPA instead. Unless you have customised package-archive-priorities or package-pinned-packages, then the version from MELPA should be installed by default, since its version number is greater than that on GNU ELPA.

I am not sure if this is the cause of this problem.

I don't think so.

This package can be installed successfully with emacs -Q.

That means something in your configuration is causing the issue.

This method also works for me, see the following for more info:

Then if possible, I would recommend deleting and reinstalling all your Emacs packages, just to make sure they're all fresh and up to date. Otherwise, try uninstalling/deleting and then reinstalling only Dash. Either way, this sounds like it's just a matter of getting a fresh copy of the package archive, and not an issue with Dash.

hongyi-zhao commented 3 years ago

C-h v package-archives RET

package-archives is a variable defined in ‘package.el’.
Its value is
(("gnu" . "https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")
("nongnu" . "https://elpa.nongnu.org/nongnu/")
("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/")
("org" . "https://orgmode.org/elpa/"))
Original value was 
(("gnu" . "https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/")
("nongnu" . "https://elpa.nongnu.org/nongnu/"))

The version of Dash on GNU ELPA (aka "gnu") is unfortunately very old and stale (I'm working on updating it in #344), so I recommend you use the version from MELPA instead. Unless you have customised package-archive-priorities or package-pinned-packages, then the version from MELPA should be installed by default, since its version number is greater than that on GNU ELPA.

Thanks for letting me know this. It should be something in my init.el screwed by me caused the problem. Anyway, it works now and the following version of dash will be automatically installed on my box:

dash-20210105.224

See the following code snippets for the installation of some needed packages in my init.el borrowed from the prelude project:

  "Install PACKAGE unless already installed."
  (unless (memq package prelude-packages)
    (add-to-list 'prelude-packages package))
  (unless (package-installed-p package)
    (package-install package)))

(defun prelude-require-packages (packages)

  (mapc #'prelude-require-package packages))

(defun prelude-install-packages ()

    (package-refresh-contents)
    (message "%s" " done.")
    ;; install the missing packages
    (prelude-require-packages prelude-packages)))

;; run package installation

Thanks for reporting back, I'm glad it's working again. Does that mean this issue can be closed?
