I've resolved it by renaming my ELPA directory, starting emacs afresh, and then downloading and installing the packages that I want to use. I've got a much slimmed down set-up now, and it feels 'lighter' too. Only one theme is installed that I use all the time, so I'm not hopping in-between themes, and I'm steering clear of "trunk" builds for a while, but we'll see how long that lasts! :) Sharon. -- A taste of linux = http://www.sharons.org.uk my git repo = https://bitbucket.org/boudiccas/dots TGmeds = http://www.tgmeds.org.uk Debian testing, Fluxbox 1.3.5, emacs 24.3.90.1
