In GNU Emacs v26+, it appears that package-initialize is run out of startup.el which is run (I think) before the various "init" files. Therefore, it is hardcoding the assumptions that: 1. The standard packages are in site-lisp or elpa directories. 2. The user packages are in .emacs.d/elpa directory. This means that, if you set up a number of package-archives to install packages from (such as "melpa"), all of the packages must be installed in "elpa" directories in your local setup. This would seem to be a configuration issue. True? -- David
