RE: Issues installing packages from melpa

[Akber Khan]

HI Phil, 

The mode line says "Package Menu: Loading" - when I press 'g' to refresh the 
contents, the following appears in the *Messages* buffer:

Importing package-keyring.gpg...done

But the ": Loading" status never goes away. And again when I click on any of 
the gnu packages, I get either this message: 

Contacting host: elpa.gnu.org:443
gnutls.el: (err=[-54] Error in the pull function.) boot: (:priority 
NORMAL:%DUMBFW :hostname elpa.gnu.org :loglevel 0 :min-prime-bits nil 
:trustfiles (/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt) :crlfiles nil :keylist nil 
:verify-flags nil :verify-error nil :callbacks nil)

or this one: 

Contacting host: elpa.gnu.org:443
gnutls.el: (err=[gnutls-e-invalid-session] The specified session has been 
invalidated for some reason.) boot: (:priority NORMAL:%DUMBFW :hostname 
elpa.gnu.org :loglevel 0 :min-prime-bits nil :trustfiles 
(/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt) :crlfiles nil :keylist nil :verify-flags 
nil :verify-error nil :callbacks nil)

Are you sure the package list was refreshed? Is there a ":Loading" in the mode 
line somewhere? What happens when you press "g" to refresh the package list 
manually?
