When upgrading my packages from elpa, org-plus-contrib is failing showing this in the messages buffer --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Generating autoloads for org-eshell.el...done Generating autoloads for org-eval-light.el...done Generating autoloads for org-eval.el...done Generating autoloads for org-expiry.el...done Generating autoloads for org-faces.el...done hack-local-variables: Local variables entry is missing the suffix Saving file /home/boudiccas/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20140526/org-plus-contrib-autoloads.el... Wrote /home/boudiccas/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20140526/org-plus-contrib-autoloads.el --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8--- This means that the package upgrade fails as the replaced packages are not deleted, and the whole thing stops at the generation of "org-plus-contrib-autoloads.el". If it is a failing at my end, where is "hack-local-variables" please and what should the suffix be?
