org-plus-contrib package upgrade fails

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

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?

Thanks
Sharon.

I don't have a fix for this, but I do recommend using the "manual"
method of cloning the git repository.

~$ git clone git://orgmode.org/org-mode.git
~$ git checkout maint
~$ make autoloads

Then update your load-path to load Org from where you cloned the
git repository.

HTH,

PS: Problems with org-plus-contrib are of the kinds that make me
want to let contributed Org packages to live outside of the Org core
repository.
