OK. So this variable is being read, probably (since 26.1 < 27), but...

...but the actual variable's value has been "augmented" by a
(second) entry for "melpa", mapping to "http://melpa.milkbox.net/packages/".

This one fails for me trying to resolve the name (host melpa.milkbox.net
is unknown to (at least my) DNS).

Yes, this one works for me, too. But the milkbox one doesn't.
Now I have no idea what "update packages" will do in such a
case (and having two entries tagged with the same name looks
suspect too).

When you do the "describe variable" thing, there is a link in the
variable description "You can [customize] this variable" (actually
there are no square brackets there, it's my way to suggest that
this text looks different. Click on this link (or just put point
on it and hit ENTER) and you'll get a customization page. Try
to remove that milkbox entry.

Cheers
