When I run emacs with init.el and then invoke list-packages, the help
window does not show for a package, regardless of mouse click or using
keystroke "?"
Did you mean only that a particular package is not listed?
Or did you mean that if you use a particular package the help window
(buffer `*Packages*') is not shown?
This is not a problem when I start emacs with -q.
I'm loading a lot of stuff in init.el, so I would welcome any ideas as
to what I have 'require'd or configured.
After much tinkering, I have found that the following code in init.el
(require 'dired+)
Disables the information component of list-pack
Again, same question as above.
If you mean only that Dired+ is not listed, then
I understand: It's not available in an ELPA repo;
it's available from Emacs Wiki.
But if you mean that requiring Dired+ prevents
`list-packages' from displaying, then I don't
see that. I use Dired+, and `list-packages'
works for me.
Or maybe there's more to the problem than just
that `list-packages' doesn't display `*Packages*'?
A priori, I don't think dired+.el should have
any effect on `list-packages'.
