安装 Package 失败： Package is unavailable. Is the package name misspelled ?

我将 Spacemacs 下的 elpa/ 目录下的已经下载下来的 Package 删除之后，Spacemacs 启动过程中会报很多奇怪的错误，最后定位发现是每次启动的时候都有部分 Package 没有正常下载下来，而且 Spacemacs 会报下面的错误：

而且我已经设置 emacs china 提供的 elpa 源：

(defun dotspacemacs/user-init () (setq configuration-layer–elpa-archives '((“melpa-cn” . “http://elpa.emacs-china.org/melpa/”) (“org-cn” . “http://elpa.emacs-china.org/org/”) (“gnu-cn” . “http://elpa.emacs-china.org/gnu/”))) )

看了下没一个包被下载，基本可以确定是因为网络环境不好。

如果系统是windows 先考虑下https支持问题。

我已经排查了网络环境，应该是没有问题的。

经过分析我发现了问题出现的原因，就是在 .emacs.d/init.el 中出现了很多 (package-initialize)，就类似下面的：

;; Added by Package.el. This must come before configurations of ;; installed packages. Don’t delete this line. If you don’t want it, ;; just comment it out by adding a semicolon to the start of the line. ;; You may delete these explanatory comments.

;; Added by Package.el. This must come before configurations of ;; installed packages. Don’t delete this line. If you don’t want it, ;; just comment it out by adding a semicolon to the start of the line. ;; You may delete these explanatory comments.

;; Added by Package.el. This must come before configurations of ;; installed packages. Don’t delete this line. If you don’t want it, ;; just comment it out by adding a semicolon to the start of the line. ;; You may delete these explanatory comments.

;; Added by Package.el. This must come before configurations of ;; installed packages. Don’t delete this line. If you don’t want it, ;; just comment it out by adding a semicolon to the start of the line. ;; You may delete these explanatory comments. (package-initialize)

(package-initialize)

(package-initialize)

(package-initialize)

我将这些 (package-initialize) 都删除掉后，发现就回复正常了，所有的 Package 都能正常安装上了

但是我又发现了另外一个问题： 就是每次打开 Emacs后，其就会在 .emacs.d/init.el 中自动插入 (package-initialize) ， 而这就是出现上面 Package 加载失败的原因。 我现在还不清楚为什么会出现这种现象。

将spacemacs放到系统的home目录下可以解决。

我将 spacemacs 放在了 Home 目录之后确实不会出现自动插入 (package-initialize) 的现象。请问这是什么原因导致的？

因为我是在 Windows 下使用 Spacemacs ，而且不想直接将 Spacemacs 放在 Home 目录下，于是就按照 Windows下设置Emacs的HOME目录 中的第二种方法来进行配置。

有没有办法能够在使用上面的配置方式的情况下解决这个问题？

在系统HOME目录下的init.el最上面加： ;;; init.el — Spacemacs Initialization File ;; ;; Copyright (c) 2012-2017 Sylvain Benner & Contributors ;; ;; Author: Sylvain Benner [email protected] ;; URL: GitHub - syl20bnr/spacemacs: A community-driven Emacs distribution - The best editor is neither Emacs nor Vim, it's Emacs *and* Vim! ;; ;; This file is not part of GNU Emacs. ;; ;;; License: GPLv3

;; Without this comment emacs25 adds (package-initialize) here ;; (package-initialize)

;; Increase gc-cons-threshold, depending on your system you may set it back to a ;; lower value in your dotfile (function `dotspacemacs/user-config’)

经过测试发现在 Home 目录下的 init.el 加上你给的那段注释之后，确实把问题给解决了。

而且经过测试发现实际能够解决问题的是因为添加了下面一句注释：

;; (package-initialize)

而且我也找到了 Spacemacs 的代码修改记录 Emacs25 requires (pacakge-initialize) to be in init.el 。

从提交记录看是 Emacs 25 要求在 init.el 中添加的，但是我没有找到相关的资料说明为何要这样做？

我也是删掉这些多余的就好了，好麻烦啊

windows emacs25.1，启动spacemacs，近10分钟。晕死了。

问题的表现是： spacemacs启动，长时间白板显示，下方显示正在写入D:/EDA-tools/emacs/emacs-25.1/init.el。

发现D:/EDA-tools/emacs/emacs-25.1/init.el里串着几十个(package-initialize)，把spacemacs启动过程搞得几乎瘫痪。

解决方法：在文件C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Roaming\.emacs.d\init.el里加入

;; (package-initialize)

这个帖子对我有用！

我在这里补充一点，如果是在 develop branch 的话，应该是不会碰到这个问题了（这个问题的 fix 已经在 develop branch 了），但是如果仍然出现上述问题，那么基本可以认为是网络的问题。

解决办法分下面三个步骤：

1. 换个网络环境，
2. 删除 .emacs.d/elpa/archives 文件夹，
3. 启动 spacemacs。

在init.el加上仍然不行，有大量包不可用

还是不行啊，还是同样的问题

你不是emacs配置的目录的问题把。

我昨天遇到同样问题，参照 这个 issue 解决了。方法是打开配置文件（SPC f e d）找到 dotspacemacs-elpa-timeout 5 这一行改成 dotspacemacs-elpa-timeout 300 （或任何比较大的数），重启。不知道能不能帮到你。

我之前在windows上也遇到过这样的问题，后来发现主要是用了GNU的emacs，里面缺少了不少windows下需要的dll。
建议下载下面地址里针对windows 64位优化过的emacs，用这个优化版的emacs后就没出现不能下载packages的问题了

在mac os 下，因为我把配置都写在了.spacemacs 文件中，就把.emacs.d 目录删了重新clone 下来，全部重新安装插件就好了。

管用，靠这个方法解决了，谢谢你！
