Re: process sentinel error --- am i running package.el correctly? error in process sentinel: Unsigned file ‘archive-contents’ at https://melpa.org/packages/ [2 times]

[Samuel Wales]

i tried everything suggested i coud find on the web and i still get:

  Unsigned file ‘archive-contents’ at https://melpa.org/packages/ [2 times]

whenever i try to list-packages.  package-refresh-contents resilts in

  Failed to download ‘melpa’ archive.

i have tried renaming ~/.emacs.d/elpa, the melpa subdir, the gnupg
subdir.  the gnupg subdir ends up with different contents each time i
try it, it seems.  any help apprecited.
