I'm trying a clean install with this in my init.el
(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
'("melpa-stable" . "http://melpa-stable.milkbox.net/packages/"))
(add-to-list 'package-archives
'("org" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/"))
;; Initialize all the ELPA packages (what is installed using the packages
commands)
(package-initialize)
(when (not package-archive-contents)
(package-refresh-contents))
(defvar my-packages
'(;; org mode
org
;; org mode plus contrib
org-plus-contrib))
(dolist (p my-packages)
(when (not (package-installed-p p))
(package-install p)))
eval-buffer-ing this gives
package-compute-transaction: Package ‘org-plus-contrib-’ is unavailable
It's as if it's looking for a specific org-plus-contrib-xxxx.tar ? Never
had this problem before.

Not related to your question, but this link has been updated. See
https://stable.melpa.org/#/getting-started

(package-refresh-contents) should be called every time if you tend to
install package non-interactively i.e. not using M-x list-packages. You
could have non-nil package-archive-contents but that value could be stale.
This could be the problem.

Also not related to the problem, you do not need both org and
org-plus-contrib. Just org-plus-contrib will suffice. See
http://orgmode.org/elpa.html

Call package-refresh-contents unconditionally. That should fix the problem.
