It looks like this has been fixed somewhat since this bug was reported. It now reports: Error retrieving: http://elpa.gnu.org/archive-contents (error http 404) Which seems like a reasonable error message. I don't think it would be appropriate to remove or block the URLs -- the failure may be temporary, and it should be up to the user to remove the archives themselves, so I'm therefore closing this bug report. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no
